"degree " 5degree 5

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"4x1degree1

6x^1y^1to"degree 2 "6x1y1degree 2 since (1 + 1 )=2

3x^4y^1 to"degree 5"3x4y1degree 5 since (4 + 1 ) =5

5^0 to"degree 0"50degree 0

Thus the polynomial is degree 5.
