SUMMARY
The degree of the expressions e^x and log(x) is not defined, as both are not polynomial functions. In polynomial terms, the degree is determined by the highest power of the variable in the expression. However, since e^x is an exponential function and log(x) is a logarithmic function, the concept of degree does not apply to them.
