Respuesta :

ANSWER

The degree of the given polynomial is [tex]5[/tex]


EXPLANATION

The given polynomial is


[tex]p(x)=x^4+2x^3-3x^5+4x-5x^2+6[/tex]


When we write this polynomial in descending order, we get,


[tex]p(x)=-3x^5+x^4+2x^3-5x^2+4x+6[/tex]


The highest degree is 5.


Hence the degree is 5
