Degree of a factored polynomial
Add the degrees of the non-zero polynomial factors.
- A repeated factor contributes its degree multiplied by its repetition count.
- A non-zero constant multiplier contributes degree 0.
- You do not need to expand just to find the degree.
Example 1
Count every repetition
