Answer 1

Dear student

$$\begin{gathered} \text{1) 5x-}\sqrt{2} \\ \mathrm{The}\mathrm{degree}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{polynomial}\mathrm{is}1\mathrm{because}\mathrm{highest}\mathrm{power}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{variable}\mathrm{x}\mathrm{is}1. \\ 2)7 \\ \mathrm{Since}\mathrm{it}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{constant}\mathrm{polynomial}.\mathrm{So},\mathrm{degree}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{polynomial}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{zero}. \end{gathered}$$
