Open in App

Solution

Identifying the expression and finding its degree :
In a polynomial exponent of all the variables must be in a whole number.
So, $5 x + 2$ is a polynomial.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of a variable.
Here, the highest power of variable $x$ in $5 x^{1} + 2$ is $1$
Hence, the degree of polynomial $5 x + 2$ is $1$
