$\frac{5}{7} y^{3} + 5 y^{2} + y + 1$

Step 1

Combine $\frac{5}{7}$ and $y^{3}$ .

$\frac{5 y^{3}}{7} + 5 y^{2} + y + 1$

Step 2

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

$\frac{5 y^{3}}{7} \to 3$

$5 y^{2} \to 2$

$y \to 1$

$1 \to 0$

Step 3

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$3$
