welshfella · Answer

which term has the highest degree?

welshfella · Answer

- that exponent will be the degrees of the polynomial

donnie1999 · Answer

I think its a binomial is that correct?

welshfella · Answer

yes  its a binomial because there are 2 terms

now you have to find the degree  - what is the highest exponent?

welshfella · Answer

|dw:1465221293982:dw|

welshfella · Answer

that's an exponent

welshfella · Answer

- in this case its equal to 2. so that expression is of degree 2.

welshfella · Answer

if there is more than one exponent in a polynomial the degree is the value of the highest exponent.

welshfella · Answer

4x^4 y  + 5x^3    will have degree 4.

welshfella · Answer

ops sorry i forgot - the y   with degree 1 
- you neeed to add the exponents in each term  
so degrre here would be 4 + 1 = 5
