Answer:
The degree of this polynomial is "8"
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the degree of a polynomial is given by the degree of its leading term. Recall as well that the degree of a term is the maximum number of variables that appear in it.
So, let's examine each of the terms in the given polynomial, and count the number of variables they contain to find their individual degrees. then pick the one with maximum degree, and that its degree would give the actual degree of the entire polynomial.
1) term contains one variable "m" and four variables "n", so a total of five. Then its degree is: 5
2) term contains one variable "m", two variables "n", and five variables "p". that is a total of eight variables. Then its degree is: 8
3) term contains one variable n and one variable p. That is a total of 2. Then its degree is 2.
Based on the analysis above, and the fact that the term with highest degree is that of degree 8, the polynomial has degree 8.

We can find the height of the altitude by the ratio of sin. See my attachment.
sin of angle = side in front of the angle / hypotenuse
sin x = height/distance
If the two pilot is rising in an hour, then the first distance is 400 miles, the second distance is 300 miles.
Find the height of first pilot
height/distance = sin x
height/400 = sin 30°
height = sin 30° × 400
height = 1/2 × 400
height = 200
Find the height of second pilot
height/distance = sin x
height/300 = sin 40°
height = sin 40° × 300
height = 0.642 × 300
height = 192
So the first pilot traveling 400 mph with 30° is more quickly to reach high altitude than the second pilot traveling 300 mph with 40°
