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: Checking each term: 1  5xy2 has a degree of 3 (x has an exponent of 1, y has 2, and 1+2=3) 2  3x has a degree of 1 (x has an exponent of 1)  5y3 has a degree of 3 (y has an exponent of 3)
