Question

Use the polynomial 3x^2−4x^11+4x^4−2x^10−5+^8x^8 to answer the question. 

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 11

Answer 2

Answer: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² - 4x¹¹ + 4x⁴ - 2x¹⁰ - 5 + 8x⁸

To find the degree, look for the largest exponent.  11

If you put this polynomial in standard form (from largest to smallest exponent), the first term will give you the degree of the polynomial and the leading coefficient.

- 4x¹¹ - 2x¹⁰ + 8x⁸ + 4x⁴ + 3x² - 5
