This is not difficult. You can eliminate cubic and quadratic is usually 2, and quartic is basically the same thing: $\sf (a^2)^2$

zepdrix · Answer

So to classify a polynomial, we simply look at the degree of the `highest power` of x.
So in this case it's a 5 on the largest x, yes?

Do you know which `word` corresponds to a 5th degree polynomial?

anonymous · Answer

No sorry I am struggling with math

zepdrix · Answer

Quadratic ~ 2nd degree
Cubic       ~ 3rd degree
Quartic    ~ 4th degree
Quintic    ~ 5th degree

anonymous · Answer

ok

zepdrix · Answer

So try to remember that the coefficients don't affect the degree at all.
Notice that we only looked at the 5 on the x, we didn't care about the fact that it had a -6 in front.

anonymous · Answer

yeah
