To find the polynomial degree you have only to add the exponents of all of the different components of the polynomial. In your case, you would add 1 and 5 from 4ab5 to get 6, 1 and 1 from 2ab to get 2, and 4 and 3 from 3a4b3 to get 7. Since the degree of the third component is the highest, that is you're answer.
A polynomial discriminant is defined in terms of the difference in the roots of the polynomial equation. Since a binomial has only one root, there is nothing to take its difference from and so in such a situation, the discriminant is a meaningless concept.
The degree of a polynomial function is the highest power any single term is raised to. For example, (5a - 2b^2) is a second degree function because the "b^2" is raised to the second power and the "a" is only raised to the (implied) first power. For (24xy-xy^3 + x^2) it is a third degree polynomial because the highest power is the cube of -xy.
Yes - but only if the domain is restricted. Normally the domain is the whole of the real numbers and over that domain it must have at least one real zero.
is -4 a polynomial? This depends on what you accept as a definition A polynomial is often defined as a set of things in order obeying certain rules. ( these things and rules can be very complicated) A polynomial EQUATION is an equation between two polynomials When using only real numbers and "regular" math rules -4 is a polymomial of degree 0 x = -4 is a polynomial equation is a polynomial of degree 1 it is the same as x +4 = 0 It can be represented by { 4, 0} Sometimes the terms are used interchangably
No. A polynomial can have as many degrees as you like.

No number completes it because the sequence can go on forever. There are infinitely many possible solutions: given any seventh number it is possible to find a polynomial of degree 6 that will fit the above six points and the selected seventh. There is only one polynomial of degree 5, and using that as the position to value rule, the next number is 131.
821. The explantion is that they can be generated by the polynomial below: the only polynomial of degree 4. There are infinitely many other possibilities and given any "next number" it is possible to find a polynomial of degree 5 that will generate the 5 given numbers and the specified "next". Un = (53n4 - 486n3 + 1627n2 - 2250n + 1068)/12 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
It is possible to find a polynomial of order 5 such that, using that polynomial for the position to term rule, ANY number can be the next number.However, the only polynomial of degree 4 that will fit the given points isUn = (15n4 - 214n3 + 1041n2 - 1970n + 1344)/24 for n = 1, 2, ...Using this rule, the next numbers are 9, 49, 170, ...

Yes, there can be infinitely many. Given a sequence of n numbers, it is always possible to fit a polynomial of degree (n-1) to it. That polynomial is one posible pattern.Then suppose the sequence is extended by adding an (n+1)thnumber = k. You now have a sequence of n+1 numbers and there is a polynomial of degree n that will fit it. For each of an infinite number of values of k, there will be a different polynomial of degree n. Next add another number, l. There will now be an infinite number of polynomials of degree n+1. And this process can continue without end.And these are only polynomial functions. You can have other rules - for example, sums of sines and cosines (see Fourier transformations if you are really keen and able).

You forgot to copy the polynomial. However, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that every polynomial has at least one root, if complex roots are allowed. If a polynomial has only real coefficients, and it it of odd degree, it will also have at least one real solution.
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers or polynomials. If you have only one number or polynomial there is nothing for it to have a factor in common with!
