Question

Degree of the polynomials $\frac{x^{23}+x^{14}-x^{16}}{x^2}$ is ______

• A. $2$
• B. $23$
• C. $14$
• D. $21$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $21$

Now,

$\frac{x^{23}+x^{14}-x^{16}}{x^2}$

$=x^{21}+x^{12}-x^{14}$.

So the highest degree term involved in the above polynomial is $x^{21}$. So the degree of the polynomial is $21$.
