For which value of d will ((d+2)x^5 + (d−4)x^3 + 9) have degree 3?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d = −2

The governing concept is that the degree of a nonzero polynomial is the greatest exponent whose coefficient is nonzero. For the given polynomial to have degree 3, the x^5 term must disappear; therefore its coefficient must satisfy d+2=0, giving d=−2. We must also check that the x^3 term does not disappear at this value. Its coefficient becomes d−4=−2−4=−6, which is nonzero. Hence the polynomial becomes −6x^3+9, whose highest nonzero power is x^3. Option B is correct. If d=4, the x^3 term vanishes but the x^5 term remains. For d=0 or d=5, the x^5 coefficient is also nonzero, so those choices leave the degree equal to 5.
