Explanation:
The degree of a polynomial with 2 variables ( or more) is.
color(red)" the sum of exponents with highest value" the sum of exponents with highest value for each term within the polynomial.
4x^1to "degree1"4x1→degree1
6x^1y^1to"degree 2 "6x1y1→degree 2 since (1 + 1 )=2
3x^4y^1 to"degree 5"3x4y1→degree 5 since (4 + 1 ) =5
5^0 to"degree 0"50→degree 0 Thus the polynomial is degree 5.
