Determine+the+degree+of+a+Polynomial

How do you dtermine the degree of a term?
- All numbers have a value of zero (constant). Variables have the value of the exponent. Whatever the power is, that number is associated with the degree. Example-

x1= 1

x² = 2
How do you determine the degree of a polynomial? - You look for the value of each term, the highest value is the number you want. Find the degrees for each term, the term of the highest degree is the degree of the polynomial.
