The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of all its variables. The degree of a polynomial is the greatest of any term in the polynomial. To find the degree of a polynomial, you must find the degree of each term. Find the degree of each polynomial. ex. ex. ex. ex.

ex. ex. Determine whether each statement is true or false. If false, give a counterexample. a) All binomials are polynomials b) All polynomials are monomials c) All monomials are polynomials ex. Tell whether the following statement is true or false. Explain your reasoning. The degree of a binomial can never be zero.
