Identify Terms Degree: Identify the degree of each term in the polynomial.Degree of −8f: 1 (since f is to the power of 1)Degree of −9: 0 (since this is a constant term with no variable, its degree is 0)
Determine Polynomial Degree: Determine the degree of the polynomial −8f−9. Since 1 is the highest degree among the terms in −8f−9, the degree of the polynomial is 1.
