Question

What is the degree of the following polynomial expression:

$\frac{4}{3}{x}^7-3x^5+2x^3+1$

• A. 7
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is A 7

Clearly, the degree of the polynomial expression $\frac{4}{3}{x}^7-3x^5+2x^3+1$ is $7$.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it, and thus is a non-negative integer.
