.
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.
\So, the degree of the polynomial is ![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=ab26fd4c5c29d2067a1dab644bcb3065.png\")
