Answer:
5 is the highest degree.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following polynomial:
[tex]-6x^3y^2+5x^4-7z[/tex]
and we are to find the degree of this polynomial.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its monomials (which are the individual terms in a polynomial) with coefficients that are greater than 0.
In the given polynomial, we have multiple variable term [tex]-6x^3y^2[/tex] and two single variable terms.
So we can find the highest degree by adding the exponents of [tex]-6x^3y^2[/tex] i.e. 3+2=5.
