$2 x^{5} + 14 - 3 x^{4} + 7 x + 3 x^{3}$

Step 1

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

$2 x^{5} \to 5$

$14 \to 0$

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

$7 x \to 1$

$3 x^{3} \to 3$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$5$
