You can put this solution on YOUR website! The degree of a polynomial is equal to the degree of the highest degree term in the polynomial. The degree of a term is the sum of all exponents on variables in that term. A variable with no exponent is assumed to be raised to the 1 power, that is to say:
So:
. The highest degree term is the term, so the polynomial is of degree 1.
. Again, each of the terms containing a variable is of degree 1, so the polynomial is of degree 1.
. The highest degree term is the term which is of degree 2, hence the polynomial is of degree 2.
. Here the first term has two variables. The exponent on the x is 2 and the exponent on the y is 3, so the degree of the term is 2 + 3 or 5; the polynomial is of degree 5.
. Here the term containing the variables again has two variables. The exponent on x is 1 and the exponent on y is also 1, therefore the degree of the term is 1 + 1 or 2.
