Question

what is the degree of the following monomial?
-2f^2g^3h^5

Answer 1

You are looking for the highest exponent, not always the first one.

Answer 2

oops, thhat is if you only have one.
With multiple exponents you need to add them.

Answer 3

\[-2f ^{2}g ^{3}3h ^{5}\] = 2+3+5

Answer 4

Add exponents Of All Variables as 2+3+5 and ans is 10.which is highest degree.
but if u have equation like x^2+y^3+z^5 then the highest degree is that exponent which is greater than all exponents in equation which is 5 so the degree of this equation is 5.
