Step 1
We have to explain how to find the degree of a polynomial in two variables.
Step 2
The Polynomial in two variables contains the term of the form: axnym Now the degree of each term can be evaluated by adding the exponents of each termand the degree of the polynomial can be determined by the greatest of all those.
Consider an example:
x2y6x3y12+10x27y+3=0
First we evaluate the degree of each term Now degree of x2y=3
degree of 6x3y12=15
degree of 10x2=2
degree of 7y=1
degree of 3=0
Now the degree of x2y6x3y12+10x27y+3 is the greatest of all these So, degree of x2y6x3y12+10x27y+3=15
