Question
For the polynomial `((x^3 + 2x + 1))/5 - 7/2 x^2 - x^6`, write the degree of the polynomial
Solution
The given polynomial is `((x^3 + 2x + 1))/5 - 7/2 x^2 - x^6`
Powers of x = 3, 1, 2 and 6 respectively.
The highest power of the variable x in the given expression = 6
Hence, the degree of the polynomial = 6

Basketball and soccer are played with a spherical ball. Even though an athlete dribbles the ball in both sports, a basketball player uses his hands and a soccer player uses his feet. Usually, soccer is played outdoors on a large field and basketball is played indoor on a court made out of wood. The projectile (path traced) of soccer ball and basketball are in the form of parabola representing quadratic polynomial.
