For the polynomial in one variable \(5x^3-2x+7\), Riya says that its degree is 3. What is the correct evaluation of Riya’s statement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Riya is correct; the degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest exponent of the variable.
Riya is correct. In \(5x^3-2x+7\), the exponents of \(x\) are 3, 1, and 0; the greatest is 3, so the degree is 3. Exam tip: count exponents, not terms.
