$f (x) = x^{6} - 2 x^{5} - x^{5} + 2 x^{4} - 29 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 (x \cdot x^{2}) + 45 x^{2} \cdot - 2 + 216 x \cdot x + 216 x \cdot - 2 - 432 x - 432 \cdot - 2$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$f (x) = x^{6} - 2 x^{5} - x^{5} + 2 x^{4} - 29 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 x^{1 + 2} + 45 x^{2} \cdot - 2 + 216 x \cdot x + 216 x \cdot - 2 - 432 x - 432 \cdot - 2$

Add $1$ and $2$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 2 x^{5} - x^{5} + 2 x^{4} - 29 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 x^{3} + 45 x^{2} \cdot - 2 + 216 x \cdot x + 216 x \cdot - 2 - 432 x - 432 \cdot - 2$

Multiply $- 2$ by $45$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 2 x^{5} - x^{5} + 2 x^{4} - 29 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 x^{3} - 90 x^{2} + 216 x \cdot x + 216 x \cdot - 2 - 432 x - 432 \cdot - 2$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ by adding the exponents.

Move $x$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 2 x^{5} - x^{5} + 2 x^{4} - 29 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 x^{3} - 90 x^{2} + 216 (x \cdot x) + 216 x \cdot - 2 - 432 x - 432 \cdot - 2$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 2 x^{5} - x^{5} + 2 x^{4} - 29 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 x^{3} - 90 x^{2} + 216 x^{2} + 216 x \cdot - 2 - 432 x - 432 \cdot - 2$

Multiply $- 2$ by $216$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 2 x^{5} - x^{5} + 2 x^{4} - 29 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 x^{3} - 90 x^{2} + 216 x^{2} - 432 x - 432 x - 432 \cdot - 2$

Multiply $- 432$ by $- 2$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 2 x^{5} - x^{5} + 2 x^{4} - 29 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 x^{3} - 90 x^{2} + 216 x^{2} - 432 x - 432 x + 864$

Simplify by adding terms.

Subtract $x^{5}$ from $- 2 x^{5}$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 3 x^{5} + 2 x^{4} - 29 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 x^{3} - 90 x^{2} + 216 x^{2} - 432 x - 432 x + 864$

Subtract $29 x^{4}$ from $2 x^{4}$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 3 x^{5} - 27 x^{4} + 58 x^{3} + 45 x^{3} - 90 x^{2} + 216 x^{2} - 432 x - 432 x + 864$

Add $58 x^{3}$ and $45 x^{3}$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 3 x^{5} - 27 x^{4} + 103 x^{3} - 90 x^{2} + 216 x^{2} - 432 x - 432 x + 864$

Add $- 90 x^{2}$ and $216 x^{2}$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 3 x^{5} - 27 x^{4} + 103 x^{3} + 126 x^{2} - 432 x - 432 x + 864$

Subtract $432 x$ from $- 432 x$ .

$f (x) = x^{6} - 3 x^{5} - 27 x^{4} + 103 x^{3} + 126 x^{2} - 864 x + 864$

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms.

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

$x^{6} \to 6$

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

$- 27 x^{4} \to 4$

$103 x^{3} \to 3$

$126 x^{2} \to 2$
