Chapter 4.2, Problem 11ES

To determine

Write the degree for each of the following polynomial given below.

The degree for $5a^2-2a+1$ expression is $2$.

Given:

The given expression are $5a^2-2a+1$.

Calculation:

Given:

We know that the largest exponent of the variable is the degree of the polynomial.

For the given $5a^2-2a+1$ expression, the highest exponent is $2$.

Hence the degree of the polynomial is $2$.
