Key Concepts

Degree of a Term

The degree of a term in an algebraic expression is the sum of the exponents of the variables present in that term. It indicates the highest power of the variable that appears in the term. For example, if a term is written as ax^n, its degree is n.

Constant Term

A constant term in an expression or polynomial is a term that does not contain any variables. Since there is no variable with an exponent, its degree is defined to be 0 by convention. This is why a numerical value like -3, which does not contain any variables, is considered to have a degree of 0.
