You have not provided the polynomial function, therefore, I cannot provide an exact answer.
However, I can help you with the concept.

The degree of the polynomial is determined based on the highest exponent in the equation.

For example:
x² + 2x + 3
highest exponent ........> 2
degree of polynomial ............> second

x³ + 2x⁵ + 7x⁴
highest exponent ..........> 5
degree of polynomial .........> fifth

x + 9x³
highest exponent ..........> 3
degree of polynomial ..........> third

Hope this helps :)
