Q2 of 32 Page 2

If f(x) = ax100 – bx2 + cx + d. Find the degree of the polynomial and find the number of zeroes of the polynomial.

Concept Used:


The degree of a polynomial: The highest power of the variable in a polynomial is the degree of the polynomial.


A number of zeroes of a polynomial equal to the degree of the polynomial.


Explanation:


f(x) = ax100 – bx2 + cx + d


As, highest power is 100, the degree of the polynomial = 100


Number of zeroes of the polynomial = 100.
