Question

What is the degree of the polynomial? 5x² + 8x³ + 4- 6x² - 3x5​

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

I'm assuming that the 5 in "3x5​" is supposed to be a exponent. The degree of the polynomial is the greatest of the exponents (powers) of its various terms.

Answer 2

The degree of polynomial is 5.

Explanation:

I suppose the polynomial is
`\displaystyle{5x^2+8x^3+4-6x^2-3x^5}`. To find the which degree this polynomial is, we consider the highest exponent of the term which is
`\displaystyle{3x^5}`, the 5 is our highest degree of the term and thus, 5 is our highest degree of polynomial.
