Question

Give the degree of the polynomial

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

Given polynomial:

`3x^2y^3+8x^3y^7`

The degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent in the function.

When a polynomial has more than one variable, add the exponents of each variable in each term.

3x²y³ has a degree of 5, since both exponents add up to 5.

8x³y⁷ has a degree of 10, since both exponents add up to 10.

So the polynomial has a degree of 10.
