### Exercise: Homogeneity of Functions
#### Task:
For the following function, determine if the function is homogeneous in \( (x, y) \), and if yes, what degree is it?

#### Problem:
\[ f(x, y) = xy + y^2 - 3 \]

#### Instructions:
1. Review the concept of homogeneous functions.
2. Check if the given function can be expressed in the form \( k \cdot f(tx, ty) = t^n \cdot f(x, y) \) for some constant \( n \).
3. Determine the degree of homogeneity if applicable.
   
This exercise is designed to enhance your understanding of homogeneous functions in two variables, a crucial concept in advanced calculus and mathematical analysis.
