What is the degree of the polynomial (6x-13)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 1
The degree of a polynomial is the greatest exponent of its variable with a non-zero coefficient. In \(6x-13\), the exponent of \(x\) is \(1\), so its degree is \(1\). The number \(6\) is only the coefficient of \(x\), not the degree. Exam tip: To find degree, look for the highest power of the variable, not the coefficient or constant term.
