color(green)(=> 15x^3 - x^2 - x + 315x3x2x+3 is the standard form.

Degree of polynomial color(maroon)( : 3:3

Number of terms color(maroon)( : 4:4

Explanation:

12x^3 + 5 + 5x^2 -6x^2 + 3x^3 -2 -x12x3+5+5x26x2+3x32x

=> 12x^3 + 3x^3 + 5x^2 - 6x^2 - x +5 - 212x3+3x3+5x26x2x+52

color(green)(=> 15x^3 - x^2 - x + 315x3x2x+3 is the standard form.

Degree of polynomial color(maroon)( : 3:3

Number of terms color(brown)( : 4:4
