X^4+x^3+x
It would also be helpful if you could tell me how to find the degree because my textbook is really confusing. Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The degree is that largest exponent of x (or whatever letter the variable is)
The largest exponent of x in x^4+x^3+x is 4, so 4 is the degree of the polynomial.
