$2 x y^{4} + 2 x^{2} y - 3 y^{2} + 10 x^{3}$

Step 1

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

$2 x y^{4} \to 5$

$2 x^{2} y \to 3$

$- 3 y^{2} \to 2$

$10 x^{3} \to 3$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$5$
