Question

Enter the degree of the polynomial below:
6x^6 + 9x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x^10 - 9x^5 - 5x^6

Answer 1

its the highest exponent

Answer 2

10?

Answer 3

The highest exponent is the number of the degree.
This is why most polynomials are put in standard from (highest exponent to least)

Answer 4

Correct :)
