How do you find the degree of a Polynomial?

• Start by finding the degree of each term in the Polynomial. The degree is all the the exponents added together in a single term. After finding the degree of each term determine which term in the polynomial has the highest degree and that is the degree of the polynomial.

• Find the degree of each term. Take the lowest degree out of the terms to determine the degree of the whole polynomial.

• 3x⁴

• You cannot find the degree of a polynomial.

What is a Monomial?

• A Polynomial consisting of 3 terms.

• A Polynomial consisting of one term.

• 3xy³

• 3yz+5yz⁵
