Degree of the polynomials Monomial Degree 8y3 3 6y3b8k 12 18 Degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of the variables. Degree of a polynomials is the greatest degree of any of its’ monomials. Polynomial Degree of terms Degree of the polynomials 3x2+4xy3+2 2, 4, 0 4 7y4+3xy-8x3y2 4, 2, 5 5
Polynomials Ascending order goes up. Descending order goes down. Look at the exponent of the variable you are arranging. All the other variables exponents don’t matter. 5x4y2+8x9y7-19xy3+x5y
