Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its monomials (individual terms) when added together. In this case, the first term has a degree of 7 ($-5y^7$), the second term has a degree of 7 ($-4x^6z$, since $6+1=7$), and the third term also has a degree of 7 ($5xz^6$, since $1+6=7$). Therefore, the polynomial's degree is 7.
