Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 5a - 2b² + 1
Degree of the polynomial = 2
2) 4x²-3x³ + 2x + 12
-3x³ + 4x² + 2x + 12
Degree of the polynomial = 3
To find the degree of the polynomial, arrange it in descending as per the power of the variables.
The highest power of the variable is the degree of the polynomial.
