Find the Degree -2x^3-x^13+6+2x^12

$- 2 x^{3} - x^{13} + 6 + 2 x^{12}$

Step 1

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

$- 2 x^{3} \to 3$

$- x^{13} \to 13$

$6 \to 0$

$2 x^{12} \to 12$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$13$
