Open in App

Solution

In a polynomial all the exponents of variables must be in a whole number.
So, $5 x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 2$ is a polynomial
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of a variable.
Here in $5 x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 2$ the highest exponent of variable $x$ is $3$ .
Hence, the degree of the polynomial $5 x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 2$ is $3$ .
