Question

Explain how to find the degree of a polynomial in 2-3 sentences.
Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the degree of a polynomial, identify the term with the highest exponent on the variable. The degree of the polynomial is equal to the highest exponent in the polynomial. For example, in the polynomial 3x^4 - 2x^2 + 5x + 1, the degree is 4 because the term with the highest exponent is x^4.
