#color(crimson)("Degree of polynomial " - 3#

#color(crimson)("No. of terms " - 4#

Explanation:

#F(x) = 5 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3#

#"Standard form is " F(x) = 4x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x + 5#

#"Degree of each term " #

#4x^3 - "degree " 3, 3x^2 - "degree " 2, 2x - " degree " 1, 5 - "degree ' 0#

#color(crimson)("Degree of polynomial " - 3#

#color(crimson)("No. of terms " - 4#
