Answer:
degree of the polynomial is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the polynomial [tex]f(x)=2x^3+7x^5-4x-12[/tex]
We can rearrange the polynomial and write in standard form as
[tex]f(x)=7x^5+2x^3-4x-12[/tex]
For the degree of the polynomial we see the highest exponent of the polynomial.
Degree = highest exponent
The highest exponent of the polynomial is 5.
Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 5.
