Solution

(i) The highest power of x is 1. So, the degree of the given polynomial is 1.

(ii) The highest power of x is 3. So, the degree of the given polynomial is 3.

(iii) Clearly, 9 is a constant polynomial of degree 0.

(iv) The highest power of x is 7. So, the degree of the given polynomial is 7.

(v) The highest power of x is 10. So, the degree of the given polynomial is 10.

(vi) The highest power of x is 2. So, the degree of the given polynomial is 2.
