Use the polynomial  3x^2−4x^11+4x^4−2x^10−5+^8x^8 to answer the question.  what is the degree of this polynomial?   1  11  10  2  4  8

11

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² - 4x¹¹ + 4x⁴ - 2x¹⁰ - 5 + 8x⁸

To find the degree, look for the largest exponent.  11

If you put this polynomial in standard form (from largest to smallest exponent), the first term will give you the degree of the polynomial and the leading coefficient.

- 4x¹¹ - 2x¹⁰ + 8x⁸ + 4x⁴ + 3x² - 5
