Which of the following equations has a degree of two?

  1. y=x+2

  2. y=2x+2

  3. y=x^2+2x+2

  4. y=2x^2+4x+4

The correct answer is: y=x^2+2x+2

An equation's degree is determined by the highest power of its variable. In this case, the variable is x. Option A only has x to the power of 1, making its degree 1. Option B also has a degree of 1 since its highest power of x is still 1. Option D, on the other hand, has a degree of 2 since its highest power of x is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is not A, B, or D.
