Solution Steps

To find the degree of a polynomial, identify the term with the highest power of x x . The degree is the exponent of that term.

Step 1: Identify the Terms of the Polynomial

The polynomial given is:

8+3x+3x23x6 -8 + 3x + 3x^2 - 3x^6

Step 2: Determine the Degree of Each Term
  • The constant term 8-8 has a degree of 00.
  • The term 3x3x has a degree of 11.
  • The term 3x23x^2 has a degree of 22.
  • The term 3x6-3x^6 has a degree of 66.
Step 3: Find the Maximum Degree

The degree of the polynomial is the highest degree among its terms. Here, the highest degree is 66.

Final Answer

The degree of the polynomial 8+3x+3x23x6-8 + 3x + 3x^2 - 3x^6 is 6\boxed{6}.
