The degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. In the given polynomial, the terms are not clearly defined. However, if we assume that 'a' and 'b' are variables and '9', '5', '4', '3', '2', and '8' are coefficients, then the polynomial is not in standard form.

If we interpret the polynomial as 9a^5b^4 + 3a^3b^2 + 8, then the degree of the polynomial is 9 (5 from 'a' and 4 from 'b' in the first term), as this is the highest total degree of any term in the polynomial.

Please clarify if the variables and coefficients are represented differently.
