To find the degree of a polynomial, simply find the highest exponent in the expression. As seven is the highest exponent above, it is also the degree of the polynomial.
Example Question #67 : How To Find The Degree Of A Polynomial
Find the degree of
The degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent on the variable among all its terms. Here, 
Example Question #68 : How To Find The Degree Of A Polynomial
Find the degree:
The degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent on the variable among all its terms. Here, we are given a factored form, when we need to compare terms in the simplified form (ie multiplied out).
You could multiply everything out, but that is not the most efficient thing. Simply recognize that the highest power will be obtained when multiplying the highest degree terms in each factor: 
Example Question #69 : How To Find The Degree Of A Polynomial
What is the degree of the following polynomial?
Add the exponents of the variables for each term to find the degree of that term.
The highest degree is three.
The answer is:
Example Question #70 : How To Find The Degree Of A Polynomial
