Question:

It says write the degree of the following polynomials in standard form
X+4x^2+5+2x^4
3x^2+5x-X^3+1

Answer:
Degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of the terms of the polynomial.
Here,-
+X%2B4x%5E2%2B5%2B2x%5E4+
Degree of x = 1
Degree of 4x^2 = 2
Degree of 5 = 0
Degree of 2x^4 = 4

Here the highest degree is 4

So the degree of the polynimial, +X%2B4x%5E2%2B5%2B2x%5E4+ is = 4
Similarly for the second question, +3x%5E2%2B5x-X%5E3%2B1, degree is 3 beacause 3 is the highest exponent of the terms.


To write these polynomials in standard form, you have to write the terms in increasing or decreasing order.
So the answer is,
2x%5E4%2B4x%5E2%2Bx%2B5 and
-x%5E3+%2B3x%5E2+%2B5x+%2B1+
