Find the degree of the monomial $-3x^2y^3z$.

1. Problem Description

Find the degree of the monomial $-3x^2y^3z$.

2. Solution Steps

The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of all the variables in the monomial.

The monomial is $-3x^2y^3z$.

The exponents are:

$x$ has an exponent of

2. $y$ has an exponent of

3. $z$ has an exponent of 1 (since $z = z^1$).

The degree of the monomial is $2 + 3 + 1$.

$2 + 3 + 1 = 6$

3. Final Answer

The degree of the monomial is 6.
