Please I do not know how to figure this out:

Identify the degree of each term of the polynormial and the degree of the polynormial of -4x^3 + 2x^2 + 7x + 1

degree of the first term, second, third, fourth terms and the polynomial

-4x^3 = 3rd Deg.

+2x^2 = 2nd "
+7x = 1st :
+1 = 0 deg.

Since the largest exponent is 3, this
is a 3rd deg. polynomial.
