seems like a degree 4 to me
what is hard in that

Hi Welcome to Openstudy!

The degree of a polynomial or monomial depends on the highest exponent in the expression. If the highest exponent is:

1 : it  will be linear
2: it  will be quadratic
3: it will be cubic
4: it will be quartic

  For example, $\sf x^3+x$ : the highest exponent is 3, so this is a cubic function.

@Data_LG2 thanks so for number 1 it is 4 or a quartic and how could i find it for number 2?
