$3 x^{2} - 4 x^{11} + 4 x^{4} - 2 x^{10} - 5 + 8 x^{8}$

Step 1

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

$3 x^{2} \to 2$

$- 4 x^{11} \to 11$

$4 x^{4} \to 4$

$- 2 x^{10} \to 10$

$- 5 \to 0$

$8 x^{8} \to 8$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$11$
