Oh, dude, it's like super simple. So, basically, you classify polynomials based on their degree, which is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. If the highest power is 1, it's a linear polynomial; if it's 2, it's quadratic; and if it's 3, it's cubic. Anything beyond that, like a fourth-degree polynomial or higher, we just call them "higher-degree polynomials." Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

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.
