Find the Degree 3x(x+2)

$3 x (x + 2)$

Step 1

Simplify and reorder the polynomial.

Apply the distributive property.

$3 x \cdot x + 3 x \cdot 2$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ by adding the exponents.

Move $x$ .

$3 (x \cdot x) + 3 x \cdot 2$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$3 x^{2} + 3 x \cdot 2$

Multiply $2$ by $3$ .

$3 x^{2} + 6 x$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$2$
