Instructions

    • 1

      Write down the equation. For example the polynomial equation may be:

      X^4 + 2x^3 + 5x^2 + 4x + 6

    • 2

      Put a ring around the highest power within the polynomial. Following the example, the highest power within the equation is 4.

    • 3

      Write down the order of the polynomial. The order is the the number which has been ringed. Following the example, the order of the polynomial is 4.
