Solution

The correct option is B 3
Degree of the polynomial(that contains only one variable) is the highest power of its various terms. The terms of the given polynomial are $x^{3}$ , $4 x^{2}$ and $9$ . Here, the term $x^{3}$ has the highest exponent for the variable $x$ and hence the degree of the given polynomial is 3.

P (x) = x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 9 ?

p

x^{3} + 4 x^{2} - p x - 6

(x - 1)

p (x) = x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + x - 6

P (x + 2) - P (x) = x^{3} + 3 x^{2} + x + 1

lim x \to \infty \frac{2 x^{3} + 3 x^{2} - 4 x + 7}{3 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} - x - 9} = \frac{2}{3}

lim x \to \infty \frac{p (x)}{q (x)}
