What is the degree of this polynomial?

5 + 2s

Explanation:

We can rewrite 5 as 5s^0, since s^0 = 1 where s is nonzero.

Think of 2s as 2s^1

With those ideas in mind, the original polynomial turns into 5s^0 + 2s^1

Sorting the terms so that the largest exponent is first gets us the standard form 2s^1 + 5s^0

The largest exponent is the degree, so the degree is 1.

Side note: This trick only works for single variable polynomials.

step-by-step explanation:

first you will have to convert 3/4 into a decimal

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide

25/14 or 1.

step-by-step explanation:

the dots mean that it has infinitely more numbers behind it
