Why is 3x² + 2xy + 2y² + 5x = 0 not a homogeneous equation?
AIt also has a constant term
BIts term 5x has degree one
CIt uses three variables
DEvery term has degree two
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Its term 5x has degree one
Three terms have degree two but 5x has degree one, so degrees differ.
