Sagot :

The degree of the polynomial formed is 6.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of the variables present with non-zero coefficients.

For example the polynomial has three 7x³y²+9xy+4 terms. The first term has a degree of 5 (the sum of the powers 2 and 3), the second term has a degree of 1, and the last term has a degree of 0. Therefore, the polynomial has a degree of 5, which is the highest degree of any term.

Now the given functions are:

[tex]f(x)=x^3[/tex] ,g(x)=3x²-1 and h(x)=2x

Now we have to find (f ° g° h)(x). Let us first find (g°h)(x).

(g°h)(x) is equal to g[h(x)]

=g[2x+5]

=3(2x+5)²-1

=3(4x²+20x+25)-1

=12x²+60x+74

Now we find (f ° g° h)(x)

(f ° g° h)(x)=f[g(2x+5)]

f[g(2x+5)]=f(12x²+60x+74)

f(12x²+60x+74)=(12x²+60x+74)³

Now we have to simplify the expression:

(12x²+60x+74)³

=[tex]1728x^6+25920x^5+161568x^4+535680x^3+996336x^2+985680x+405224[/tex]

The largest degree of the variable x in the polynomial is 6.

hence the degree of [f o go h](x) is 6.
