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

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

Step 1

Combine the opposite terms in $3 x^{2} y^{2} - 5 x y^{2} - 3 x^{2} y^{2} + 2 x^{2}$ .

Subtract $3 x^{2} y^{2}$ from $3 x^{2} y^{2}$ .

$- 5 x y^{2} + 0 + 2 x^{2}$

Add $- 5 x y^{2}$ and $0$ .

$- 5 x y^{2} + 2 x^{2}$

Step 2

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

$- 5 x y^{2} \to 3$

$2 x^{2} \to 2$

Step 3

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$3$
