Detailed Solution

The highest power of the variable in a polynomial is called its degree.
We know that,
The standard form polynomial is

x^{2} + x + a

.
The power is simply number in the exponent.
In the polynomial,

x^{2} + x + a

, the power of the first term is

2

.
The degree of the polynomial is

2

since it has the largest exponent, which is the case with all polynomials.
Thus, the degree of a polynomial is the largest power of the variable in the polynomial.
