What is the degree of $2x^2y$?
Given:
Given polynomial is $2x^2y$.
To do:
We have to find the degree of the given polynomial.
Solution:
Degree of a polynomial:
A polynomial's degree is the highest or the greatest power of a variable in a polynomial equation.
To find the degree, identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.
In $2x^2y$, the variable $x$ has a power of $2$ and the variable $y$ has the power of $1$.
The degree of $2x^2y=2+1=3$.
Therefore, the degree of the given polynomial is $3$.
