Answer 1

`~~\downarrow \\ 5y^2+ y +1 ~~~~\text{(See arrow)} \\\\ \texttt{Degree of this polynomial } = \boxed{2}`

Answer 2

Degree = 2

Explanation:

Given:
`5y^2+y+1`

We are given a polynomial with variable y.

Polynomial: It is an expression with positive number exponent of same variable.

Degree: It is highest power of variable.

In the given polynomial,
`5y^2+y+1`.

It has three term with variable y.

The highest power of y is 2.
