Answer 1

   
$~~\downarrow \\ 5y^2+ y +1 ~~~~\text{(See arrow)} \\\\ \texttt{Degree of this polynomial } = \boxed{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Degree = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $5y^2+y+1$

We are given a polynomial with variable y.

Polynomial: It is an expression with positive number exponent of same variable.

Degree: It is highest power of variable.

In the given polynomial, $5y^2+y+1$.

It has three term with variable y.

The highest power of y is 2.

Leading coefficient is 5

Hence, The degree of given polynomial is 2
