Determine+the+degree+of+a+polynomial

=How do you determine the degree of a term?= All numbers have a **//value of 0 by itself//**. Otherwise called a constant. __**Any variables have the value of the exponent unless there is no variable then it equals 1.**__ Example: X²=2 or X^5=5 =How do you determine the degree of a polynomial?= You look for the individual terms, find the degrees for each term and the //**highest term is the degree for the whole polynomial.**//
