(iv) -125
(v) 3z
Solution:
(i) 5x²
In 5x², the exponent is 2. Thus the degree of the expression is 2.

(ii) -7ab
In -7ab, the sum of powers of a and b is 2. (That is 1 + 1 = 2).
Thus the degree of the expression is 2.

(iii) 12pq² r²
In 12pq² r², the sum of powers of p, q and r is 5. (That is 1 +2 + 2 = 5).
Thus the degree of the expression is 5.

Here – 125 is the constant term. Degree of constant term is 0.
∴ Degree of -125 is 0.

(v) 3z
The exponent is 3z is 1.
Thus the degree of the expression is 1.

Question 4.
Find the degree of the following expressions.
(i) x³ – 1
(ii) 3x² + 2x + 1
(iii) 3t⁴ – 5st² + 7s²t²
(iv) 5 – 9y + 15y2 – 6y3
(v) u⁵ + u⁴v + u³v² + u₂v³ + uv⁴
Solution:
(i) x³ – 1
The terms of the given expression are x³, -1
Degree of each of the terms: 3,0
Terms with highest degree: x³.
Therefore, degree of the expression is 3.

(ii) 3x² + 2x + 1
The terms of the given expression are 3x², 2x, 1
Degree of each of the terms: 2, 1, 0
Terms with highest degree: 3x²
Therefore, degree of the expression is 2.

(iii) 3t⁴ – 5st² + 7s²t²
The terms of the given expression are 3t⁴, – 5st², 7s³t²
Degree of each of the terms: 4, 3, 5
Terms with highest degree: 7s²t²
Therefore, degree of the expression is 5.

(iv) 5 – 9y + 15y² – 6y³
The terms of the given expression are 5, – 9y , 15y², – 6y³
Degree of each of the terms: 0, 1, 2, 3
Terms with highest degree: – 6y³
Therefore, degree of the expression is 3.

(v) u⁵ + u⁴v + u³v² + u₂v³ + uv⁴
The terms of the given expression are u⁵, u⁴v , u³v², u²v³, uv⁴
Degree of each of the terms: 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
Terms with highest degree: u⁵, u⁴v , u³v², u²v³, uv⁴
Therefore, degree of the expression is 5.

Question 5.
Identify the like terms : 12x³y²z, – y³x²z, 4z³y²x, 6x³z²y, -5y³x²z
Solution:
-y³ x²z and -5y³x²z are like terms.

Question 6.
Add and find the degree of the following expressions.
(i) (9x + 3y) and (10x – 9y)
(ii) (k² – 25k + 46) and (23 – 2k² + 21 k)
(iii) (3m²n + 4pq²) and (5nm² – 2q²p)
Solution:
(i) (9x + 3y) and (10x – 9y)
This can be written as (9x + 3y) + (10x – 9y)
Grouping the like terms, we get
(9x + 10x) + (3y – 9y) = x(9 + 10) + y(3 – 0) = 19x + y(-6) = 19x – 6y
Thus degree of the expression is 1.

(ii) (k² – 25k + 46) and (23 – 2k² + 21k)
This can be written as (k² – 25k + 46) + (23 – 2k² + 21k)
Grouping the like terms, we get
(k² – 2k²) + (-25 k + 21 k) + (46 + 23)
= k² (1 – 2) + k(-25 + 21) + 69 = – 1k² – 4k + 69
Thus degree of the expression is 2.

(iii) (3m²n + 4pq²) and (5nm² – 2q²p)
This can be written as (3m²n + 4pq²) + (5nm² – 2q²p)
Grouping the like terms, we get
(3m²n + 5m²n) + (4pq² – 2pq²)
= m²n(3 + 5) + pq²(4 – 2) = 8m²n + 2pq²
Thus degree of the expression is 3.

Question 7.
Simplify and find the degree of the following expressions.
(i) 10x² – 3xy + 9y² – (3x² – 6xy – 3y²)
(ii) 9a⁴ – 6a³ – 6a⁴ – 3a² + 7a³ + 5a²
(iii) 4x² – 3x – [8x – (5x² – 8)]
Solution:
(i) 10x² – 3xy + 9y² – (3x² – 6xy – 3y²)
= 10x² – 3xy + 9y² + (-3x² + 6xy + 3y²)
= 10x² – 3xy + 9y² – 3x² + 6xy + 3y²
= (10x² – 3x²) + (- 3xy + 6xy) + (9y² + 3y²)
= x²(10 – 3) + xy(-3 + 6) + y²(9 + 3)
= x²(7) + xy(3) + y²(12)
Hence, the degree of the expression is 2.

(ii) 9a⁴ – 6a³ – 6a⁴ – 3a² + 7a³ + 5a²
= (9a⁴ – 6a⁴) + (- 6a³ + 7a³) + (- 3a² + 5a²)
= a⁴(9-6) + a³ (- 6 + 7) + a²(-3 + 5)
= 3a⁴ + a³ + 2a²
Hence, the degree of the expression is 4.

(iii) 4x² – 3x – [8x – (5x² – 8)]
= 4x² – 3x – [8x + -5x² + 8)]
= 4x² – 3x – [8x – 5x² – 8]
= 4x² – 3x – 8x + 5x² – 8
(4x² + 5x²) + (- 3x – 8x) – 8
= x²(4+ 5) + x(-3-8) – 8
= x²(9) + x(- 11) – 8
= 9x² – 11x – 8
Hence, the degree of the expression is 2.
