Question

-4x^3+9x^2+8/9x+8
Identify the degree of each term of the polynomial and the degree of the polynomial.

Answer 1

-4x^3 -- degree is highest power of variable x so degree is 3
+9x^2 -- degree is 2
+)8/9) x^1 -- degree is 1
+8x^0 -- degree is 0
===========
degree of polynomial is found in the term with the highest power of the variable. That term is called the lead term. So, that would be 3 as the degree of the entire polynomial.
