Question

Use the polynomial, 4x^2 − 3x + 2x^5 + 6 to answer each question.

What is the degree of this polynomial?

A) 2
B) 3
C) 5
D) 6

Answer 1

The degree of the polynomial is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. In this case, the polynomial is 4x^2 - 3x + 2x^5 + 6. The highest power of x in this polynomial is 5, so the degree of the polynomial is 5. Therefore, the answer is C) 5.
