What is the degree of the constant polynomial \(p(x)=9\)?
Advertisement
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 0
\(p(x)=9\) is a non-zero constant polynomial. It can be written as \(9x^0\), so the highest power of \(x\) is \(0\), making its degree \(0\). Remember that it is the zero polynomial, not a non-zero constant polynomial, whose degree is undefined.
