Find the Degree 3x^6+5-x^2+4x^5-9x

$3 x^{6} + 5 - x^{2} + 4 x^{5} - 9 x$

Step 1

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

$3 x^{6} \to 6$

$5 \to 0$

$- x^{2} \to 2$

$4 x^{5} \to 5$

$- 9 x \to 1$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$6$
