If (q(x)=(k-4)^2x^8+(k-4)x^5+3x) and (k=4), what is the degree of (q(x))?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1

On substituting \(k=4\), we get \(k-4=0\). Hence, both \((k-4)^2x^8\) and \((k-4)x^5\) become zero, leaving \(q(x)=3x\). The highest power of \(x\) in \(3x\) is \(1\), so the degree of the polynomial is \(1\). Although \(8\) and \(5\) occur in the original expression, their terms vanish because their coefficients become zero. Exam tip: substitute the parameter value first, then find the highest power among the remaining non-zero terms.
