Question

What is the degree of the following polynomial f(x)=(x+4)^3(x+1)(x-5)^3

Answer 1

x^7

Explanation:

look for the highest degree of any term and you will end up multiplying

x^3( from first paranthesis) *x( from second parenthesis) *x^3 ( from third paranthesis) so the highest degree will be x^ 3+1+3 = x^7
