Question

Find the degree of the polynomial given below
$3x^6+6y^3-7$

Answer 1

Given polynomial is $3x^6+6y^3-7$

Here, the variables are $x$ and $y.$ and in the first term i.e, $3x^6,$ the exponent of $x$ is $6.$

The degree of the given polynomial is $6.$ [Highest power of a single variable or Sum of exponents when there are different variables in a term]

Degree of the polynomial: Highest power of the variable. (when the power of exponent of the variable is not in fraction, square root, or cube root, negative.)
