Final answer:

To make the polynomial expression a 22nd degree polynomial, add a term with a degree of 22 by multiplying the existing term with a variable raised to the power of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the polynomial expression a 22nd degree polynomial, we need to add a term with a degree of 22. Since the highest degree term in the given expression is 19, we can add a term with a degree of 22 by multiplying the existing term with a variable raised to the power of 3. Let's add 2x^3 to the expression:

14x^19 - 9x^15 + 11x^4 + 5x^2 + 3 + 2x^3

Now, the polynomial expression is a 22nd degree polynomial.
