Question

select the degree of this equation. 13x² - 6x = 21 after you pick your answer press go. a. 1st degree b. 2nd degree c. 3rd degree d. 4th degree e. 5th degree

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of the degree of a polynomial equation

The degree of a polynomial equation in one variable is the highest power (exponent) of the variable that appears in the equation when it is written in standard form (all terms on one side, equal to zero).

Step2: Analyze the given equation

The given equation is \(13x^{2}-6x = 21\). If we rewrite it in standard form (subtract 21 from both sides), we get \(13x^{2}-6x - 21=0\). The highest power of \(x\) in this equation is 2 (from the term \(13x^{2}\)).

Answer:

B. \(2^{\text{nd}}\) degree
