Example Question #45 : How To Find The Degree Of A Polynomial
Find the degree of the following polynomial:
This problem is asking us to solve for the degree of the polynomial. This merely means "what is the greatest exponent in the expression?" It's important to keep in mind that coefficients do not matter because they do not affect exponents.
In order to easily see what the greatest exponent is, it is best to rearrange the terms in descending order with respect to their exponents.
Now we can see that 5 is the greatest exponent. Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 5.
