Find the degree of the polynomial 4hk + 2h - k<sup>3</sup>
0 solutions

The degree of a polynomial is the most number of 
letters multiplied together in any one term:

4hk + 2h - k<sup>3</sup>

Write the k<sup>3</sup> as kkk

4hk + 2h- kkk

The first term, 4hk, has 2 letters multiplied together
The second term, 2h, has only one letter
The third term, -kkk, has 3 letters multiplied together.

So the degree of the polynomial is 3.
