Explanation:

  • The degree in a polynomial is the greatest exponent of any term in that expression.

A.
3x^(12) - 2x + x^5

Here, highest exponent = 12

Degree of polynomial =12

B. 8x-200

Here, highest exponent = 1

Degree of polynomial =1

C.
15x^3 + 3x^2 - 10

Here, highest exponent = 3

Degree of polynomial =3

D.
150x^3

Here, highest exponent = 3

Degree of polynomial =3
