$5 a^{3} b^{5} + 13 a^{4} b^{3} - 6 a^{5} b^{6}$

Step 1

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

$5 a^{3} b^{5} \to 8$

$13 a^{4} b^{3} \to 7$

$- 6 a^{5} b^{6} \to 11$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$11$
