Question

What is the degree of the polynomial -2xy^5 + 3x^7 -10x^3y^6 ^+8x^6+4

Answer 1

We have the following polynomial:
 - 2xy ^ 5 + 3x ^ 7 - 10x ^ 3y ^ 6 + 8x ^ 6 + 4
 The degree of a polynomial is the same as the degree of the term with the highest degree.
 We have then that the highest degree is in the following term:
 10x ^ 3y ^ 6 = 3 + 6 = 9
 Answer:
 The polynomial is degree 9.
