Question

consider the degree of each polynomial in the problem.
the first factor has a degree of 4 x -> 2.
the second factor has a degree of 2 x -> 3.
the third factor has a degree of 3 x -> 2.
the product has a degree of 423 x -> 7.

the degree of the product is the of the degrees of the factors.
