What are the degrees of the following polynomials

5xy+3 , 6x raise to six +xsquare y square+xy raise to 4 + y cube.

i didn't understand the meaning of degrees in polynomials

Answer :

degree of polynomial is depends on the highest degree term in polynomial .

As here we have 

5xy +  3 

So in that polynomial 5xy have degree =  2 , As here we have two variables " x and y  "

So, degree of polynomial  5xy +  3  is  2 .

And

6x6 + x2y2 + xy4  + y3 

Here term 6x6 have degree  =  6
And
Term x2y2  have degree  = 4
And
Term xy4  have degree  = 5 

So, Highest degree is  6  , So , Polynomial  6x6 + x2y2 + xy4  + y3  have degree  =  6
