Question

For the polynomial `((x^3 + 2x + 1))/5 - 7/2 x^2 - x^6`, write the degree of the polynomial

Answer 1

The given polynomial is `((x^3 + 2x + 1))/5 - 7/2 x^2 - x^6`

Powers of x = 3, 1, 2 and 6 respectively.

The highest power of the variable x in the given expression = 6

Hence, the degree of the polynomial = 6
