$3.75 x^{5} - 7.25 x^{7} + 9.5 - 6.75 x^{6}$

Step 1

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

$3.75 x^{5} \to 5$

$- 7.25 x^{7} \to 7$

$9.5 \to 0$

$- 6.75 x^{6} \to 6$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$7$
