Given the equation:

-11^3x + 10x

Determine the degree of the polynomial.

Explanation:

In order to determine the degree of the polynomial, we simply needed to look at the exponents, or the magnitude that the number is being raised to. -11 has a degree of 3x, whereas 10x has a degree of 1, hence, we must reconsider that even if we have an exponential function due to the term x in the exponent, we will take it as the highest degree for out polynomial.

Final answer:

= 3x
