In polynomial expressions, the degree is equal to the highest degree of the unknown.

For example, if the largest term in a polynomial expression is
x^6, the degree of the expression is
6.

Let's write the expression in the question.


  • 3x^2-2x^6+x^8-1

Since the highest-order term in the expression is
x^8, the answer must be
8.
