Question 33537: I am really lost on this it says to:
Find the degree of the polynomial.
Then the problem says:
Arrange the terms of -11x+5x^3-12x^6+x^8 so that the powers of x are in descending order.
If you get this please explain it well so i understand!
Thanks in advance!
Bye bye now!~!~!~!~!~!

descending order is nothing but the order from bigger to smaller.
the given polynomial is
-11x+5x^3-12x^6+x^8
first arrange the polynomial in such a way that the powers are from bigger to smaller.
therefore,
x^8-12x^6+5x^3-11x.
the highest power of the polynomial is 8 AND it is degree of the polynomial.
