The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms when the polynomial is expressed in its canonical form consisting of a linear combination of monomials. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it.
Example: what is the degree of this polynomial: 4z 3 + 5y 2 z 2 + 2yz. Checking each term: 1  4z3 has a degree of 3 (z has an exponent of 3). 2  5y2z2 has a degree of 4 (y has an exponent of 2, z has 2, and 2+2=4). 3  2yz has a degree of 2 (y has an exponent of 1, z has 1, and 1+1=2).xample: what is the degree of this polynomial: 4z 3 + 5y 2 z 2 + 2yz.
