Examples

f (x) = x^{7} - 5 x + 6

$f (x) = x^{7} - 5 x + 6$

Step 1

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$x^{7} \to 7$

$- 5 x \to 1$

$6 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$7$

Step 3

The maximum number of possible roots is the degree of

$x^{7} - 5 x + 6$ .

$7$
