Find the Degree 6x^2+7x^3+8x^5+9

$6 x^{2} + 7 x^{3} + 8 x^{5} + 9$

Step 1

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

$6 x^{2} \to 2$

$7 x^{3} \to 3$

$8 x^{5} \to 5$

$9 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$5$
