Answer 2

To determine the degree of a multi-variable expression, you sum up the exponents of each term.

Answer 3

For example, \[p^2q^3\] has a degree of 5.

Answer 4

Now to determine the degree of a multi-variable polynomial, you simply find the maximum degree among the individual terms.

Answer 5

If the polynomial was \[p^2q^3 +p^8q \], the degree of this polynomial would be 9.
