The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms.
The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables.
7x3y2 + 15xy6 + 23x2y2
The degree of the first term is 5.
The degree of the second term is 7.
The degree of the third term is 4.
The degree of the polynomial is 7.

The "degree" is only specified for polynomials. The degree of a monomial (a single term) is the sum of the powers of all the variables. For example, x3y2z would have the degree 6; you have to add 3 + 2 + 1 (since z is the same as z to the power 1). The degree of a polynomial is the degree of its highest monomial.
Polynomials can be classified based on the number of terms they contain. A polynomial with one term is called a monomial, such as 5x or -2y^2. A polynomial with two terms is called a binomial, like 3x + 2 or 4y - 7. A polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial, for example, 2x^2 + 5x - 3. Polynomials with more than three terms are simply referred to as polynomials.
