Open in App

Solution

Finding the degree of polynomial x .
The highest power of the variable in a polynomial of one variable is called the degree of the polynomial
Here, the polynomial $x^{2} - 6 x^{7} + x^{8}$ having three term .
So, the exponent of the first term $x^{2} = 2$
The exponent of the second term $- 6 x^{7} = 7$
The exponent of the third term $x^{8} = 8$
Since, the greatest exponent is $8$
Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is $8$ .
