Explanation:
The degree of a polynomial with 2 variables ( or more) is.
#color(red)" the sum of exponents with highest value"# for each term within the polynomial.
#4x^1to "degree1"#
#6x^1y^1to"degree 2 "# since (1 + 1 )=2
#3x^4y^1 to"degree 5"# since (4 + 1 ) =5
#5^0 to"degree 0"# Thus the polynomial is degree 5.
