x^{4} - 3 x + 2

$x^{4} - 3 x + 2$

Step 1

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

x^{4} \to 4

$x^{4} \to 4$

- 3 x \to 1

$- 3 x \to 1$

2 \to 0

$2 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

4

$4$
