$- 2 x^{5} - 3 x^{4} - x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 6 x + 4$

Step 1

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$- 2 x^{5} \to 5$

$- 3 x^{4} \to 4$

$- x^{3} \to 3$

$- 6 x^{2} \to 2$

$6 x \to 1$

$4 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$5$
