Question

Find the degree of the following polynomial.
$x^2-9x+20$

Answer 1

In the given polynomial $x^2-9x+20$, the exponents of the variable $x$ are $2$ and $1$.

We know that the highest exponent of the variable $x$ is the degree of the polynomial.

Hence, the degree of the polynomial $x^2-9x+20$ is $2$.
