[one variable|one variable] The degree of a polynomial in one variable is determined by the highest exponent of the variable.
Definition
one variable The degree of a polynomial in one variable is determined by the highest exponent of the variable. In a parabola, only one variable is squared.
Mechanism
one variable Solving the equation −2 ( 3 x − 1 ) + x = 14 − x involves simplifying both sides and isolating the variable. The process requires algebraic manipulation to solve equations in one variable.
Examples
one variable The polynomial 5 x 2 + 7 x - 4 includes only one variable, x.
