Six.
Degree = 3 # terms = 3
It is a polynomial of the fourth degree in X.
x3 + 4x2 + 6x + 24 = (x2 + 6)(x + 4)
I really want to see x^3 to represent x to the power of 3 and x3 to represent the third element of the sequence (xn). Because in Calculus, we use x3, a5, etc. all the time. Anyway 3x^3 + x + 1 is a degree 3 (highest degree in the poly.) polynomial.
