Question

What is the degree of `15t`?

Answer 1

The degree is `color(red)1` ( first degree ) because the degree is equivalent to the power of the unknown.

`15t=15t^color(red)1`

For an other example :

`x^color(blue)2` : the power is `color(blue)2`

The degree is thus `color(blue)2` ( second degree )
