Question

Identify the degree of each term of each polynomial. Then find the degree of the polynomial. xy^3 + 7x^3y^2 - 6xy^4 + 2

I am really having trouble with how this process works. I know the degree of the polynomial is 5 but I don't know how to identify the degree of each term. I think the first term is xy^3 is 4. But I am not sure and I can't figure the second term

Whats an equation

add the exponents of all the variables in each term.

The degrees can be easily seen to be

4, 5, 5, 0

The degree of the polynomial is the highest degree among the terms. In this case, 5.
