Finding the Degree:
- The degree of a polynomial is the greatest degree of any of its terms
- For a given term: axn, the degree is n
- For any nonzero constant: a, the degree is 0
- a = ax0
- The number 0 has no degree; 0 times a variable to any power is 0
- When two or more variables are involved, the degree of any term is the sum of the exponents on the variables
- axnym, the degree is n + m
