What is the degree of the polynomial 4x3 + 3x2 + 2x + 5?

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 4

  4. 5

The correct answer is: 4

The degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial. In this example, the highest exponent is 3, making the degree of the polynomial 4. All of the other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the highest exponent in the polynomial. Option A represents the coefficient of the x term, option B represents the exponent of the x term, and option D represents a constant term. Remember, the degree of a polynomial can never be equal to the coefficient or a constant.
