Question

Find the degree of the polynomial 2x^3y^3 + 4xy - 10x^3y ?

Answer 1

6

Answer 2

you find the highest exponent in a term, x^3y^3, it is 6 because they are a single term so we add them together, but x^3 + y^3 would be 3 because they are two different terms

Answer 3

6

Answer 4

say you had xy, it would be 2 because each of them are to the first power

Answer 5

So we are just adding the exponents?

Answer 6

The exponents of the variables only, constants have 0 degree

Answer 7

Okay~
