6x^6+9x^3+3x^2-4x^10-9x^5-5x^6 find the degree

Question

can not figuer it out been working on this on for a pretty long time but still cant figure it out

Answer 1

Hi Darnell,

The greatest exponent determines the degree of the polynomial so a quick look shows that you have the term 4x^10 in the polynomial. Therefore, the degree of this polynomial is 10.
