Question

Find the degrees of the following polynomials.

$22p^9+31p^{16}q+12p^{17}{q}^5$

Answer 1

The degree of polynomial is the highest power value of a polynomial

So, here we have, $22p^9+31p^{16}q+12p^{17}{q}^5$

Here the highest power value term is $12p^{17}{q}^5$

So, the highest power value is $17+5=22$

Hence, the degree of polynomial $22p^9+31p^{16}q+12p^{17}{q}^5$ is $22$
