Answer 3

2xy4 + 2x2y –3y2 + 10x3 in descending order is 2xy^4+2x^2y+10x^3-3y^2
the third term is 10x^3 the degree is 3.

Answer 4

The degree is just the power?

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

Oh, I get it.
