Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its monomials (individual terms) when the polynomial is expressed in its standard form. The term "3xy" has a degree of 2 (since x has a degree of 1 and y also has a degree of 1, and 1+1=2), and the term "3y" has a degree of 1. Therefore, the highest degree among its terms is 2.
