Solution

$(i) Required polynomial = (2 x^{3} - 7 x^{2} + 3 x + 4) + (2 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 4 x + 1) = 2 x^{3} - 7 x^{2} + 3 x + 4 + 2 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 4 x + 1 = 2 x^{3} + 2 x^{3} - 7 x^{2} - 3 x^{2} + 3 x + 4 x + 4 + 1 = 4 x^{3} - 10 x^{2} + 7 x + 5 Here, the highest power is 3 . ∴ Degree of the polynomial = 3$

$(ii) Required polynomial = (3 x^{2} + 5 x - x^{7}) + (- 3 x^{2} + 5 x + 8) = 3 x^{2} + 5 x - x^{7} - 3 x^{2} + 5 x + 8 = - x^{7} + 3 x^{2} - 3 x^{2} + 5 x + 5 x + 8 = - x^{7} + 10 x + 8 Here, the highest power is 7 . ∴ Degree of the polynomial = 7$

$(iii) Required polynomial = (x^{4} + 5 x^{3} + 7 x) + (4 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 5) = x^{4} + 5 x^{3} + 7 x + 4 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 5 = x^{4} + 5 x^{3} + 4 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 7 x + 5 = x^{4} + 9 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 7 x + 5 Here, the highest power is 4 . ∴ Degree of the polynomial = 4$

$(iv) Required polynomial = (y^{2} + 2 y - 5) + (y^{3} + 2 y^{2} + 3 y + 4) + (y^{3} + 7 y - 2) = y^{2} + 2 y - 5 + y^{3} + 2 y^{2} + 3 y + 4 + y^{3} + 7 y - 2 = y^{3} + y^{3} + y^{2} + 2 y^{2} + 2 y + 3 y + 7 y - 5 + 4 - 2 = 2 y^{3} + 3 y^{2} + 12 y - 3 Here, the highest power is 3 . ∴ Degree of the polynomial = 3$

$(v) Required polynomial = (5 m^{2} + 3 m + 8) + (m^{3} - 6 m^{2} + 4 m) + (m^{3} - m^{2} - m + 5) = 5 m^{2} + 3 m + 8 + m^{3} - 6 m^{2} + 4 m + m^{3} - m^{2} - m + 5 = m^{3} + m^{3} + 5 m^{2} - 6 m^{2} - m^{2} + 3 m + 4 m - m + 8 + 5 = 2 m^{3} - 2 m^{2} + 6 m + 13 Here, the highest power is 3 . ∴ Degree of the polynomial = 3$
