The degree<span> of the </span>polynomial<span> is found by looking at the </span>term<span> with the highest exponent on its variable(s). Examples: 5x</span>2-2x+1<span> The highest exponent is the 2 so this is a 2</span>nd degree<span> trinomial. 3x</span>4+4x2The highest exponent is the 4 so this is a 4thdegree binomial<span>.</span>
