Question

What is the degree of the polynomial $4x^4-3x^2+x+6$ ?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is B 4

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent value of the variable.

The polynomial here is $4x^4-3x^2+x+6$.

Now, the exponent on the variable x in the term $4x^4$ is 4, which is the largest exponent in the polynomial.

Hence, the degree of the polynomial is 4.
