Question

Identify the degree of the polynomial 14h5 – 3

Answer 1

It would be easier to learn how to do this than to type the problem. The degree of the polynomial is the degree of the term which has the highest degree.

Answer 2

You have two terms. The first term is 14h^5 which has degree 5.

Answer 3

The second term is -3 which has degree 0 since we can think of it as -3x^0

Answer 4

So the highest degree is 5 and that is the degree of the polynomial.
