Find the Degree 2x^3y-5xy^3z+11z^5

$2 x^{3} y - 5 x y^{3} z + 11 z^{5}$

Step 1

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$2 x^{3} y \to 4$

$- 5 x y^{3} z \to 5$

$11 z^{5} \to 5$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$5$
