Okay, so here's the process to find the degree of a polynomial.
00:07
You start by finding the degree of each term, and i'm going to show you with this example.
00:12
So each term here has its own degree, and the degree of the term is the exponent on the variable.
00:21
So the first term has degree four, the next term has degree two.
00:26
The next term, when you see an x, it means x to the first, so that has degree one.
00:30
And when you see a constant, imagine it's multiplied by x to the zero, so a constant has degree, so once you have found the degree of each term, you want the highest exponent as the degree of the polynomial.
00:43
So in this example, the degree of the polynomial would be four.

Looking at the other example, we have two variables...
