Identify the degree of the homogeneous function f(x, y) = (x³ + y³) / (x − y).
Identify the degree of the homogeneous function f(x, y) = (x³ + y³) / (x − y).
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 3
- D. 0
Answer: B) 2
Explanation: f(λx, λy) = (λ³x³ + λ³y³) / (λx − λy) = [λ³(x³+y³)] / [λ(x−y)] = λ² f(x,y). Since the power of λ is 2, the degree is 2.
