Algebra II: Degree of an expression: (6squared) (x squared) (y cubed) (z squared)?

she put this problem on our test and i wasn't sure whether to count the exponent on the coefficient.

you don't count the exponent on the coefficient because you know what it is:

6 squared is 36 to the power of one; you can represent it in many ways

I wouldn't think that you would count the exponent on the coefficient.

36x^2y^3z^2.

If that's how it is..

Then the degree is 7.
