The degree of the term
5a^(1)b^(4) is 5

What is the degree of the polynomial?

The degree of the term
5a^(1)b^(4) is 5.

In a polynomial with two variables, the degree is defined as the collective highest power of both variables. The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of a variable in the polynomial.

Therefore, the degree of the term
5a^(1)b^(4) is 4 + 1 = 5, which is the highest power of the variable b in the term.

Complete question is:
