NOTE:  Page 134 #5d)  The expression is made of 1 term with 2 variables.  So, the degree of this term is 2 + 4 = 6. 


This is the same with #5e) where the term is made of 2 variables.  So the degree is 5.
Try 5f)!


And on page 135, #6d) is a binomial.  The first term has a degree of 3 + 2 = 5 and the second term has a degree of 2 + 5 = 7.  The degree for the BINOMIAL is the largest degree  and in this case, it is 7.  Try 6e).
