Number of credits for a AA/AS Degree. The number of credits that are required to complete an associate's degree will depend upon the state mandate and your program of study. Typically, this degree requires 60 to 64 semester hours or 95 to 105 quarter hours.
Memorize this: the degree of a polynomial is the largest degree of any one term in the polynomial. While we usually write polynomials with the largest degree term first, it's a good idea to look at the degrees of all the terms, in case some impish degree sprite came along and mixed them up to make our lives miserable.
(Notice, this polynomial can also be expressed as 7 x 2 y 3 + 4 x 1 y 0 â 9 x 0 y 0 {\displaystyle 7x^{2}y^{3}+4x^{1}y^{0}-9x^{0}y^{0}} .) The first term has a degree of 5 (the sum of the powers 2 and 3), the second term has a degree of 1, and the last term has a degree of 0.
