Answer 4

Since 5 is the greatest exponent we can easily classify the degree as quintic.

Answer 5

so "a"

Answer 6

quintic - 5 being the largest exponent
cubic - 3 being the largest exponent
quartic - 4 being the largest exponent
quadratic - 2 being the largest exponent

So yes the correct answer would be A. quintic
