The main formula for a polynomial ax^my^n+... the degree is the sum of the highest degree of the polynomial, it is m+n
<span>the degree of x^3y^2+7x^2y^5-3xy^8 is 9, because </span><span>3xy^8 is the term where we can find a highest value of power (8) so the degree is degree of x, it is 1 + degree of y (it is 8) </span>
