Find the Degree 2x^2-5x^3+7x^4-9

$2 x^{2} - 5 x^{3} + 7 x^{4} - 9$

Step 1

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$2 x^{2} \to 2$

$- 5 x^{3} \to 3$

$7 x^{4} \to 4$

$- 9 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$4$
