Degree of a polynomial

The polynomial degree calculator allows you to determine the largest exponent of a polynomial.


Degree of a polynomial

F is the polynomial `x -> a_n*x^n+...+ a_(n-1)*x^(n-1)+...+a_1*x+a_0`, with `a_n!=0`, the integer n is the degree of the polynomial, the largest exponent of the polynomial, n is also called the order of the polynomial. order of the polynomial.
The calculator is able to calculate online the degree of a polynomial.
