Step 1
Given:
1117x8y9+16x8y920y16
The degree of the polynomial is equal to the degree of the term with the highest degree in the polynomial
The polynomial is
1117x8y9+16x8y920y16
=11x8y920y16
Step 2
We know that the degree of the term Axpyq=(p+q)
Degree of 11 is 0
Degree of x8y9=(8+9)=17
Degree of 20y16=16
So, x8y9 is the term with the highest degree of 17
Hence the degree of the polynomial 1117x8y9+16x8y920y16 is 17
