Question

plz write the degree of the following

Answer 1

Add the powers of each variable  p, q, and r in each term.  Then find the highest sum among the terms.

So   p q² r   =>  degree  4
        3 p² q² r   =>  degree  5
       - 8 p³ q⁴ r²  =>  degree 9
       3 p q⁵ r⁷     =>  degree 13

So the degree = 13.

     Degree of a polynomial is the highest degree among the terms in the polynomial.  The degree of a term is the sum of degrees of the variables in that term.
