$10 x^{4} + 4 x^{5} + 7 x^{2} + 6 x^{7} - 8 x^{6}$

Step 1

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

$10 x^{4} \to 4$

$4 x^{5} \to 5$

$7 x^{2} \to 2$

$6 x^{7} \to 7$

$- 8 x^{6} \to 6$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$7$
