00:01 So here we have a product of binomials and we want to determine whether or not it's a polynomial.
00:06 So when looking at the exponents of t, notice that they are whole numbers.
00:10 They aren't rational or irrationals.
00:13 They have fractions or square roots.
00:15 So that tells us that this is going to be a polynomial.
00:18 So the degree is the largest exponent of t we're going to have, which is when we multiply that t to the 12th times t to the 8th.
00:26 So t to the 12th times t to the 8th is just t to the 20...
