A student says that the degree of the polynomial \(P(x)=6x^5-6x^5+4x^2-1\) is 5 because an \(x^5\) term is visible in it. Which is the correct correction to the student's statement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The degree is 2 because \(6x^5-6x^5=0\), leaving \(4x^2-1\).

The \(x^5\) terms cancel because their coefficients are opposites: \(6x^5-6x^5=0\). The simplified polynomial is \(4x^2-1\), whose highest exponent is 2. Exam tip: always simplify before finding degree.
