The degree of an expression in more than one variable is the highest sum of the powers of the variables in the terms.
Expression:
An algebraic expression is a combination of constant and variables connected by the signs of fundamental operations.
ex: 2x+5
Degree of an expression:
The degree of an expression in one variable is the highest exponent of the variable in that expression.
Ex:
2x^6 + x^4 + 5
Highest exponent = 6
so degree = 6
The degree of an expression in more than one variable is the highest sum of the powers of the variables.
Ex:
3x^1y^2 + 5x^3y^2 + 5
Sum of powers of variables = 3+2 = 5
Degree = 5.
