$h (x) = - 5 \sqrt{5} - 7 x + 2 x^{3} + \frac{1}{9} x^{2}$

Step 1

Combine $\frac{1}{9}$ and $x^{2}$ .

$- 5 \sqrt{5} - 7 x + 2 x^{3} + \frac{x^{2}}{9}$

Step 2

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

$- 5 \sqrt{5} \to 0$

$- 7 x \to 1$

$2 x^{3} \to 3$

$\frac{x^{2}}{9} \to 2$

Step 3

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$3$
