Question

The degree of the polynomial $x^2-5x^4+\frac{3}{4}{x}^7-73x+5$ is

• A. $7$
• B. $\frac{3}{4}$
• C. $4$
• D. $-73$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$7$

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its monomials.

Degree of $x^2$ is $2$

Degree of $-5x^4$ is $4$

Degree of $\frac{3}{4}{x}^7$ is $7$

Degree of $-73x$ is $1$

Degree of $5$ is $0$

The highest degree of the polynomial is $7$.
