Answer:

Which is true about the polynomial –3xy2 + 5x2y?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a binomial with degree 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It has two terms: (−3xy2) and (5x2y) → it is a binomial

The degree of an expression is the largest sum of exponents of variables for any term in the expression.

−3xy2=−3x1y2 has a sum of exponents of variables =3

5x2y=5x2y1 also has a sum of exponents of variables =3

→ the expression has degree of 3

Hope this helps
