Determine the degree for the following functions:

1. \(4x^5 + 3x^2 + 24\)
2. \(23x^3 - 35x^{15} + 45x^9\)

Answer :

Answer:

  1. 5
  2. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your expressions are ...

4x^5 + 3x^2 + 24

23x^3 – 35x^15 + 45x^9

The exponents of the variable in the terms of the first expression are ...

5, 2, 0

The largest of these values is 5, so the first expression has degree 5.

__

The exponents of the variable in the terms of the second expression are ...

3, 15, 9

The largest of these values is 15, so the second expression has degree 15.
