The expression is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=776ef0e80104aaa31cc430b8b98ff8fa.png\")
.
The degree of the first term is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=d1622611fc88fa0fbe88f093bcb90f93.png\")
and the second term are ![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=d19ea8dec317fbe5a411fa4b88fab0db.png\")
.
Since the degree of each term is non–negative integer, the expression is a polynomial.
\The degree of a polynomial is the degree of the monomial with the greatest degree.
\Degree of the polynomial is ![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=d1622611fc88fa0fbe88f093bcb90f93.png\")
