Find the Degree 3x^5y-2x^3y^4-7xy^3

$3 x^{5} y - 2 x^{3} y^{4} - 7 x y^{3}$

Step 1

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

$3 x^{5} y \to 6$

$- 2 x^{3} y^{4} \to 7$

$- 7 x y^{3} \to 4$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$7$
