highest degree occurring in any one term of a polynomial, is the degree of the polynomial
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5p%5E4w%5E4\"$ is an 8 degree term- remember its the sum of all the exponents in each term, so p to the 4th and w to the 4th means the sum of the exponents is 4+4=8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "therefore this is an 8 degree polynomial \n" ); document.write( "
