Question

Find degree of polynomial part when (2x³ + 3x² - x + 5) is divided by x.

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

2

Dividing each term of \(2x^3+3x^2-x+5\) by \(x\) gives \(2x^2+3x-1+\frac{5}{x}\).

The polynomial part of this quotient (excluding the fractional remainder term) is \(2x^2+3x-1\).

The highest power of x in this polynomial part is 2, so its degree is 2.
