$x^{6} + 3 - 2 x^{2} + 4 x^{7} - 4 x$

Step 1

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

$x^{6} \to 6$

$3 \to 0$

$- 2 x^{2} \to 2$

$4 x^{7} \to 7$

$- 4 x \to 1$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$7$
