$\"4x%5E5+%2B+x%5E8+-7\"$ Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E8%2B4x%5E5++-7\"$ Rearrange in descending exponent form\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the degree is equal to the largest exponent, the degree of the polynomial is 8 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
