Answer:

17x^5 + 5x³ + 4x - 7

Degree of polynomial: 5

Explanation:

First put the polynomial is descending order from highest exponent to lowest.

Original: 4x + 5x³ + 17x^5 - 7

New: 17x^5 + 5x³ + 4x - 7

The highest degree is 5 because that's the highest exponent. If it were m²x³ + 7x. The highest degree would be 5 because the exponents equal 5.

I hope this helps!
