The degree of a polynomial is the highest EXPONENT on a variable. For instance the degree of P(x) is 4 (since 4 is the greatest exponent) and the degree of Q(x) is 6 (since 6 is the greatest exponent) The degree of their product R(x) = (x⁴).(x⁶) R(x) = x⁽⁴⁺⁶) and R(x) = x¹⁰, then the degree of this product R(x) is 10
