1. The problem asks to find the degree of a monomial. 2. The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of all variables in the monomial. 3. Let's find the degree for the first monomial: $4g$. 4. Here, $g$ has an exponent of 1 (since $g = g^1$). 5. Therefore, the degree of $4g$ is $1$. 6. For completeness, the degrees of the other monomials are: - $23x^4$: degree $4$ - $-1.75k^2$: degree $2$ - $-4/q$: degree $-1$ (since $q$ is in the denominator, exponent is $-1$) - $s^8 t$: degree $8 + 1 = 9$ - $8m^2 n^4$: degree $2 + 4 = 6$ - $9xy^3 7^7$: degree $1 + 3 + 0 = 4$ (7 is a constant, exponent 0) - $-3q^4 rs^6$: degree $4 + 1 + 6 = 11$ Final answer for the first monomial $4g$ is degree $1$.
