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

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

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

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

$"Degree of each term "$

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

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

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

How do you identify the degree of each term of the polynomial and the degree of the polynomial F(x) = 5 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 F(x) = 5 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3?
