Find the Degree 6xy^2-5x^2y^1+9x^2

$6 x y^{2} - 5 x^{2} y^{1} + 9 x^{2}$

Step 1

Simplify.

$6 x y^{2} - 5 x^{2} y + 9 x^{2}$

Step 2

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

$6 x y^{2} \to 3$

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

$9 x^{2} \to 2$

Step 3

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$3$
