Question

Choose the correct classification of 2x4 − 8x5 − 2x2 + 5.

5th degree polynomial
4th degree polynomial
11th degree polynomial
12th degree polynomial

Please explain if you help

Answer 1

I would say to the 5th degree because that's the highest exponent there but not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure
Sorry I can't help you more but I hope this helps ome

Answer 2

5th degree polynomial

Explanation:

We have been given the polynomial
`2x^4-8x^5-2x^2+5`

We know that the highest exponent of a polynomial is called the degree of the polynomial.

The highest degree of the given polynomial is 5. Hence, from the above written concepts, we can say that the degree of the polynomial os 5.

Thus, the polynomial is 5th degree polynomial.

First option is correct.
