$m^{5} + 3 m^{7} - 11 m^{2} + 4 m + 8 + m^{3}$

Step 1

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

$m^{5} \to 5$

$3 m^{7} \to 7$

$- 11 m^{2} \to 2$

$4 m \to 1$

$8 \to 0$

$m^{3} \to 3$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$7$
