By definition, the is same as the degree of the term with the highest/largest degree.


Step 1
A polynomial's degree is the highest or the greatest power of a variable in a polynomial equation. Consider
[tex]P=8x^3+4x^2-3x+4[/tex]The degree of the polynomial above is;
[tex]3,\text{ since the leading term 8x}^3\text{ has the highest degree of 3}[/tex]Therefore, the answer will be;
[tex]Degree\text{ of a polynomial}[/tex]
