What is the degree of #15t#? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Polynomials in Standard Form 1 Answer Tessalsifi Jun 8, 2015 The degree is #color(red)1# ( first degree ) because the degree is equivalent to the power of the unknown. #15t=15t^color(red)1# For an other example : #x^color(blue)2# : the power is #color(blue)2# The degree is thus #color(blue)2# ( second degree ) Answer link Related questions What is a Polynomial?
