Work Step by Step
The coefficient of a term is the number before the variable/s.
The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of all variables in a term.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree among all the terms of the expression.
Hence, the given expression, $
-8y^7+y+19
,$ has the following characteristics:
