The degree of this polynomial is 3.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its individual terms (also known as the monomials) which have a non zero coefficient.
Here in this case, we have the following polynomial: <u>6xy</u><u> </u><u>2xy +8+ 12y</u>
Each term has degree equal to the sum of the exponents on the variables. So for a term with two variables has the highest degree: 6xy2
1 for x and 2 for y: 1+ 2 = 3 Therefore, the degree of this polynomial is <u>3</u>.
<h3>
Solution:-</h3>
<u>The degree of the polynomial 6xy2 − xy + 8 + 12y is 3</u><u> </u><u>.</u>
