Answer 4

Be sure to provide an explanation for your answer @Shizen (like how you got it so that future users will understand as well). For example. the reason why this is right because the degree means the highest exponent in the problem. In this problem, the highest exponent is 2. Therefore, this is a quadratic (2nd degree) polynomial. Let me know if this makes more sense! @Ariarose
