Root 2 is a Polynomial of Degree (1) 0 (2) 1 (3) 2 (4) root 2

Answer: (1) 0

An algebraic expression, in which variables do not occur in the denominator, exponents of the variables are whole numbers and numerical coefficients of various terms are real numbers, is called a polynomial. The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of x in a given expression. As we can write √2 in the form of the power of x as √2 *x0 , the degree of the polynomial √2 is 0.
