$- 2 a^{3} b^{2} + 5 a b^{5} + 7 b^{4} + 8$

Step 1

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$- 2 a^{3} b^{2} \to 5$

$5 a b^{5} \to 6$

$7 b^{4} \to 4$

$8 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$6$
