Question

What is the degree of the given algebraic expression
$xy+x^{2}y-x^2{y}^2?$

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is D 4

The highest of the degrees of all the terms of an expression is called the degree of the expression.
In the expression, $xy+x^{2}y-x^2{y}^2$, the degree of the term $xy$ is 2,
the degree of the term $x^{2}y$ is 3,
the degree of the term $(-x^2{y}^2)$ is 4.
As the highest degree is 4, so the degree of algebraic expression is 4.
