The degree of a polynomial function is the highest exponent to which the dependent variable is raised. For example, f(x) = 4x 5 â x 2 + 5 is a fifth-degree polynomial, because its highest exponent is 5.
The highest power of the polynomial is called the degree of the polynomial. Degree of the polynomial is also called the order of the polynomial. While finding the degree of the polynomial, the polynomial powers of the variables should be either in ascending or descending order.
