Open in App

Solution

We know that the degree is the value of the greatest exponent of expression (except the constant ) in the polynomial. To find the degree all that you have to do is find the largest exponent in the polynomial.
In polynomial $x^{2} + x - 5$
The value of the largest exponent is 2 since the first term is largest exponent
Then degree is 2
