Find The Degree Of A Polynomial : Example Question #1
Give the degree of the polynomial.
6x5+5x4−3x2+x7
Possible Answers:
6
7
5
18
9
Correct answer:
7
Explanation:
6x5+5x4−3x2+x7
The degree of an individual term of a polynomial is the exponent of its variable; the exponents of the terms of this polynomial are, in order, 5, 4, 2, and 7.
The degree of the polynomial is the highest degree of any of the terms; in this case, it is 7.

Possible Answers:
3
4
2
5
Correct answer:
5
Explanation:
ab2+a2b3−a3b1
To find the degree of the polynomial, you first have to identify each term [term is for example ab2], so to find the degree of each term you add the exponents.
EX: ab2 =a1b2=1+2=3 - Degree of 3
Highest degree is 5→ a2b3=2+3=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Degree of Polynomial is the highest power of variable of its terms when Polynomial is expressed in its Standard Form. It is sum of exponents of the variables in a term if the polynomial has more than one variable.
