What is the degree of the polynomial? 4p^2 - 2pq + 3q^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is 2, but I am not sure.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, the degree of each monomial is 2, which is the largest exponent

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

think of 2pq as 2p^1q^1 the degree of this monomial is 1+1 = 2
