The degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest exponent of the variable in the expression. In the polynomial \(3x^4 + 2x^2 + 5x\), the highest exponent of \(x\) is 4 (from the term \(3x^4\)).
Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 4.
What is the degree of the polynomial 3x^4 + 2x^2 +5x?
