Question

How do you find the degree of `(2x^3 - 2x^2 +14 - 10) - (10x^3-7x^2-10x+10)`?

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

when asking about the degree of the polynomial, it is basically asking what is the highest degree of its polynomials ie `3x^3+4x^7`

`(2x^3-2x^2+14-10)-(10x^3-7x^2-10x+10)`

=`2x^3-2x^2+4-10x^3+7x^2+10x-10`

=`-8x^3+5x^2+10x-6`

Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 3
