Any Constant polynomial, i.e., a constant can be represented by C x 0 Cx^{0} , where C C is the constant. So, the degree is 0 0 .

the degree of a polynomial is determined by its highest power for the variable, say x; for a constant polynomial, the the power is defined by 0, so a constant polynomial (or any for that matter)'s degree is represented by Cx^0, where C is a constant. For it to be constant, the polynomial's degree is zero

since its a constant , x^0 =1 , so let the constant be c, so cx^0 is c , so its 0
