Determine the degree of the following polynomial:
$2x - 1$
$2x - 1$
(1) The degree of a polynomial is defined as the highest power of the variable present in the polynomial.
In the given polynomial $2x - 1$,the variable is $x$.
The term $2x$ can be written as $2x^1$.
Since the highest power of the variable $x$ is $1$,the degree of the polynomial $2x - 1$ is $1$.
In the given polynomial $2x - 1$,the variable is $x$.
The term $2x$ can be written as $2x^1$.
Since the highest power of the variable $x$ is $1$,the degree of the polynomial $2x - 1$ is $1$.
