f (x) = 5 x^{3} - 2

$f (x) = 5 x^{3} - 2$

Step 1

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

5 x^{3} \to 3

$5 x^{3} \to 3$

- 2 \to 0

$- 2 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

3

$3$

Step 3

The maximum number of possible roots is the degree of

5 x^{3} - 2

$5 x^{3} - 2$ .

3

$3$
