alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

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.

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.
