Question

Find the degree of the monomial. 6x8y5

Answer 1

. 6x⁸y⁵ ← x is a factor 8 times, and y is a factor 5 times, so the degree is 8+5=13
13

Answer 2

13

Explanation:

We have been given the monomial
`6x^8y^5`

Here the variables are x and y.

In order to find the degree this monomial, we add the exponents of the variables x and y.

Exponent of x = 8

Exponent of y = 5

Therefore, the degree of the monomial is

Degree = exponent of x + exponent of y

Degree = 8 + 5

Degree = 13
