If p(x) = λx² + 4x − 3 has degree 2, what is the correct condition on λ?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: λ ≠ 0

The degree of a non-zero polynomial is the greatest exponent of x whose coefficient is non-zero. Here the highest-power term is λx². For the polynomial to retain degree 2, its coefficient λ must not vanish. Thus λ ≠ 0 is necessary. If λ = 0, the x²-term disappears and the expression becomes 4x − 3, which has degree 1; the particular values 4 and −3 are irrelevant to this condition.
