Find the Degree -8y^12-y^7+6+7y^2

$- 8 y^{12} - y^{7} + 6 + 7 y^{2}$

Step 1

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

$- 8 y^{12} \to 12$

$- y^{7} \to 7$

$6 \to 0$

$7 y^{2} \to 2$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$12$
