What is the degree of the polynomial?

A. 0
B. 1
C. 3
D. 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a polynomial is determined by the largest exponent of a term within the polynomial.

Given

7x³ + 4x - 5 + 8$x^{5}$

The term with the largest exponent is 8$x^{5}$ with exponent 5

Thus the polynomial is of degree 5 → D
