The degree of a polynomial is just the highest power present. So, look at which power each term is raised to, and whichever one is biggest is the degree of the polynomial. The degree of 5x^2+3x+6 would be two. If you've got more than one variable, like 3x^2y^5+2xy^2, the degree of the first term would be 2+5=7 and the degree of the second term would be 1+2=3, so the degree of the polynomial is 7.
