Find the Degree 6a^2b-2ab+5ab^2

$6 a^{2} b - 2 a b + 5 a b^{2}$

Step 1

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

$6 a^{2} b \to 3$

$- 2 a b \to 2$

$5 a b^{2} \to 3$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$3$
