Answer:

A polynomial’s degree is the highest or the greatest power of a variable in a polynomial equation. The degree indicates the highest exponential power in the polynomial (ignoring the coefficients).

For example: 6x4 + 2x3+ 3 is a polynomial. Here 6x4, 2x3, 3 are the terms where 6x4 is a leading term and 3 is a constant term. The coefficients of the polynomial are 6 and 2.

The degree of the polynomial 6x4 + 2x3+ 3 is 4.
