6. Write any two Algebraic expressions with the same degree.

Here are two pairs of algebraic expressions with the same degree:

Example 1:

(i) x2+y2

x2+y2 has degree

(ii) xy

xy has degree

Both expressions have degree 2 because:

- In x2+y2: highest power is

- In xy: sum of exponents is 1 + 1 =

Example 2:

(i) x2y+xyz

x2y+xyz has degree

(ii) a2b+c3

a2b+c3 has degree

Both expressions have degree 3 because:

- In x2y+xyz: highest sum of exponents is

- In a2b+c3: highest power is
