Answer the following with reference to the degree of a polynomial function. (i) Define the degree of a polynomial function. (ii) For each of the following functions, state its degree and classify it as Constant, Linear, Quadratic, Cubic or Higher: (a) f1(x)=7f_1(x)=7 (b) f2(x)=3−2xf_2(x)=3-2x (c) f3(x)=4x2−5x+1f_3(x)=4x^{2}-5x+1 (d) f4(x)=−x3+6xf_4(x)=-x^{3}+6x (e) f5(x)=2x4−x2+9f_5(x)=2x^{4}-x^{2}+9 (iii) Arrange the five functions in ascending order of their degrees.
