What is an angle in degrees?
Learn how to find the degree of a polynomial, a rational expression, or a function in algebra. The degree is the largest exponent of a variable or the logarithm of a function.
Degree: Definition. The degree is a unit of angular measurement used to quantify the size or magnitude of an angle. It is a measure of how much one line or ray deviates from another. A full rotation (a circle) represents 360 degrees.
How do you Define a Degree? A degree, usually indicated by ° (degree symbol), is a measure of the angle. Angles can be of different measures or degrees such as 30°, 90°, 55°, and so on.
Play. Degree of a Polynomial: Definition. The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial expression with a non-zero coefficient. The degree of a polynomial can also be defined as the greatest number among the degrees of the individual terms (monomials) with non-zero coefficients.
- What is a constant term in a polynomial?A constant term in a polynomial is a term that contains no variable. It is a term in which the degree of the variable is 0.
- What is a leading coefficient in a polynomial?The leading coefficient in a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term (the term with the highest degree).
- What is a monomial?A monomial is a polynomial with only one term. For example, $x,\\; 2x^{3},\\; y,\\; 5$, etc., are monomials.
- What is a binomial?A binomial is a polynomial with two terms. Examples: $x + 1,\\; 2x \\;–\\;5,\\; x^{2} \\;–\\; 9$, etc.
- What is a trinomial?A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms. Examples: $3x^{2} + 2x + 1, 2x^{3} \\;–\\;x + 5, x + y + z$
Degrees are a unit of angle measure. A full circle is divided into 360 degrees. For example, a right angle is 90 degrees. A degree has the symbol ° and so ninety degrees would written 90°. Another unit of angle measure is the radian . See Angles measured in degrees .
