$x^{5} + 1 - 3 x^{4} + 3 x^{9} - 2 x$

Step 1

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

$x^{5} \to 5$

$1 \to 0$

$- 3 x^{4} \to 4$

$3 x^{9} \to 9$

$- 2 x \to 1$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$9$
