Answer:

The Degree of a Polynomial is the largest of the degrees of the individual terms. Add the degrees of the variables of each term to decide what is the Degree of the Polynomial. Degree of term 1 is 2 (1+1= 2), Degree of term 2 is 6 (2+4 = 6), Degree of term 3 is 7 (5+2 = 7) 7 is the Degree of the Polynomial.

Explanation:

The degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent on one of its variables (for a single variable), or the largest sum of exponents on variables in a single term (for multiple variables). Here, the term with the largest exponent is, so the degree of the whole polynomial is 6. Polynomials are algebraic expressions that consist of variables and coefficients. Variables are also sometimes called indeterminates. We can perform arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and also positive integer exponents for polynomial expressions but not division by variable. A 1st-degree polynomial is just a straight line also known as a linear equation. It is called linear because it is a straight line. The rate of change is the slope of the line and is constant. A 2nd-degree polynomial is a parabola. A polynomial of degree 4 is called a bi-quadratic polynomial. A cubic polynomial is a name given to a polynomial of degree three.
