How do you find the degree of a polynomial?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12x^6+6x^4-7x^3+14x^2+9x-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms when the polynomial is expressed in its canonical form consisting of a linear combination of monomials. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
