How do you determine the degree of a term?
By finding the "point total", 0 for numbers, 1 for exponets, and for exponets with a power you use the number on the op

How do you determine the degree of a polymonial?
You split it into terms, then take degree the highest term and __//**that's the degree OF THE WHOLE POLYNOMIAL.**//__

Something Intersting (and It's Key):
Numbers are Zero degrees Varibles w/out exponets are One degrees Exponets have what ever the exponet is equal to.
