9-41.

What is the degree of each polynomial function below?

$P\left(x\right) = 0.08x^{2} + 28x$
Hint (a):
Look for the highest-valued exponent.
Answer (a):
$2$

$y = 8 x ^ { 2 } - \frac { 1 } { 7 } x ^ { 5 } + 9$
Hint (b):
See part (a).

$f \left(x\right) = 5\left(x + 3\right)\left(x − 2\right)\left(x + 7\right)$
Hint (c):
See part (a). Simplify first.
Answer (c):
$3$

$y = \left(x − 3\right)^{2} \left(x + 1\right)\left(x^{3} + 1\right)$
Hint (d):
See part (c).
