Question

Write the degree of the polynomial: ${5x}^4+{9x}^5+{3x}^2+1$ ?

Answer 1

Solution:

(i) the exponent of the first term $5x^4$ is $4$

(ii) the exponent of the second term $9x^5$ is $5$

(iii) the exponent of the third term $3x^2$ is $2$
(iv) the exponent of the fourth term $1$ is $0$

Therefore, the degree of the polynomial $5x^4+9x^5+3x^2+1$ is $5$
