    Degree
In summary, the degree of ex is undefined as it is an exponential function, and log(x) is also undefined as it is a logarithmic function. There is no specific method to find the degree, but the degree of the polynomial inside the function can be determined if present. The main difference between the two is their properties and behavior. While knowing the degree of a function is important in understanding its properties and solving equations, it is not as crucial for exponential and logarithmic functions as their degree is undefined.

how to find the degree of ex and log(x).

For rational expression its deg(Numerator) - deg(denominator). Whats the procedure to be followed to find the degrees of above expressions..


Please help me :)

e^x and log(x) are not polynomials, and so for them degree is meaningless.
 

What is the degree of ex?

The degree of ex is undefined, as ex is an exponential function and does not have a degree like polynomial functions.

What is the degree of log(x)?

The degree of log(x) is also undefined, as it is a logarithmic function and does not have a degree like polynomial functions.

How do you find the degree of ex and log(x)?

Since the degree of ex and log(x) is undefined, there is no specific method to find it. However, you can determine the degree of the polynomial inside the exponential or logarithmic function, if present.

What is the difference between degree of ex and log(x)?

The main difference between the degree of ex and log(x) is that ex is an exponential function, while log(x) is a logarithmic function. They have different properties and behave differently in mathematical calculations.

Why is it important to know the degree of ex and log(x)?

Knowing the degree of a function helps in understanding its properties and behavior. It also helps in solving equations and evaluating limits involving these functions. However, since the degree of ex and log(x) is undefined, it is not as important to know it compared to other types of functions.
