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!
Answer:
3 19/20
Step-by-step explanation:
So...
The first step is to find a common denominator between the 2. The smallest common denominator is 20. So you would do 3/4 times 5/5 which is 15/20. (2 15/20)
1/5 times 4/4 = 4/20(1 4/20)
So the final step is to add them together
2 15/20 + 1 4/20= 3 19/20.
This is the most simplified answer you can get.
