First put it in decreasing power according to x.
x^4-5x+8+x^2
=x^4+x^2-5x+8
Now this question is asking what is the highest degree of x you see in this function.
4 of course.
Therefore the answer to his question is degree of 4.
Done!
Are you solving p or h
This is the answer for h h=p-1/2
This is the answer for p p=h+1/2
We know the distance formula is

9)
Here A( -4,2) and B(1,4)
So length of AB
= 
Also C(2,1)
Length of BC
= 
So we can see that length of AB is not equal to length of BC
11.
Now AB = 
Also C(2,-1) & D(4,4)
Length of CD
= 
Yes AB = CD
