Identify Degree of Term: Identify the degree of the term in the polynomial.The polynomial given is 6u. This is a monomial, which means it has only one term.Since the variable u is to the first power (as any variable without an explicit power is understood to be raised to the power of 1), the degree of the term 6u is 1.
Determine Polynomial Degree: Determine the degree of the polynomial 6u. Since there is only one term and its degree is 1, the degree of the polynomial 6u is also 1.
