Determine the degree of each term.
$8p^4{q}^3$

• A. $3$
• B. $4$
• C. $12$
• D. $7$

Answer: (D)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the variables and their exponents in the term. For the term \$8p^{4}q^{3}\(, the variables are \)p\( and \)q$ with exponents 4 and 3 respectively.
2. Recall that the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of all the variables in that term.
3. Add the exponents of the variables: \$4 + 3$.
4. Ignore the coefficient (the number 8) because it does not affect the degree of the term.
5. The sum you get from adding the exponents is the degree of the term.
