it is 3. You are doing APEX right?
Leading coefficient: Negative. Order: Any even integer.
It is a polynomial if the square root is in a coefficient but not if it is applied to the variable. A polynomial can have only integer powers of the variable. Thus: sqrt(2)*x3 + 4*x + 3 is a polynomial expression but 2*x3 + 4*sqrt(x) + 3 is not.
The degree of a polynomial refers to the largest exponent in the function for that polynomial. A degree 3 polynomial will have 3 as the largest exponent, but may also have smaller exponents. Both x^3 and x^3-x²+x-1 are degree three polynomials since the largest exponent is 4. The polynomial x^4+x^3 would not be degree three however because even though there is an exponent of 3, there is a higher exponent also present (in this case, 4).
