Refer tot he explanation.

Explanation:

Given:

#3x^4-9x^3-3x^2+6#

You have already written the polynomial in standard form, from highest to lowest exponent and then the constant.

This is a 4th degree polynomial because the highest exponent is #4# in #x^4#.

It has four terms, which are separated by addition and subtraction symbols.
