Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]7x^3y^3 + 4 - 11x^5y^2 - 3x^2y =[/tex]
The exponents of x (in the order the polynomial was given) are: 3, 0, 5, 2
Now we put the exponents of x in descending order.
[tex]= -11x^5y^2 + 7x^3y^3 - 3x^2y + 4[/tex]
The second term is [tex] 7x^3y^3 [/tex]
The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of all variables of the term. The exponent of x is 3. The exponent of y is 3, and 3 + 3 = 6.
The degree of the second term is 6.
