OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jonask , the highest power is 3

Remember the highest degree is the degree of the polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the answer

hartnn (hartnn):

what is the degree of 5xy^3 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3? or 4?

hartnn (hartnn):

its 4 and its highest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that makes sense for\[P(x,y)=x^2y+5xy^3-7y^2+2\]

hartnn (hartnn):

and the polynomial indeed is that^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the degree of the polynomial is 4?

hartnn (hartnn):
