Given:
The polynomial,
To find:
The standard form, leading coefficient, degree, and number of terms for the given polynomial.
Solution:
Consider the polynomial,
Arrange the terms according to their powers from largest to smallest.
Therefore, the standard form of given polynomial is .
Here, the highest power of the variable is 5.
So, degree of the polynomial is 5.
Leading term is .
So, leading coefficient is -7.
Terms in the polynomial are and 6.
So, the number of terms is 6.
