The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its terms.
The power of a term is the sum of the powers of all the variables in a term.
A polynomial is written starting with the greatest power in standard form.
In the first case, the power of the first term is 3, the power of the second is 3 (2 from x + 1 from y) but the power of x has decreased so it is the second term, and then so on.
In the second case, the power is starting form 2 and then increasing to 3. This is incorrect.
Therefore, Marcus' suggestion is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
Constant of proportionality is the constant value of the two proportional quantities, in this problem p and s, where 4 is the factor of proportionality because it is constant or k.
In simple terms, p is in direct proportion to s wherein the increase or decrease in value of s results to the increase or decrease in value of p with 4 the only factor remaining unchanged.
In the above problem, the number 4 is derived from the word square. We all know that a square has 4 sides of equal lengths, therefore, the perimeter is equivalent to the product of 4 and its lenght.
