Answer: Because the degree of a constant polynomial’s monomials is zero. The polynomial has a degree of zero.
A polynomial is a mathematical equation made up of indeterminates (also known as variables) and coefficients and involving only adding, subtracting, multiplying, & non-negative integers exponents of variables. x² +4x + 7 is an instance of said polynomials of such a single indeterminate x3 + 2xyz²yz + 1 is a three-variable example.
