This is a sextic (or hexic) polynomial with four terms.

The four terms are $6a^6$ , $2a^5$ , $-2a^4$ and $7$ .

The terms are all scalar multiples of non-negative integer powers of $a$ , so this is a polynomial in $a$ .

The degree of the polynomial is the highest power of $a$ in any term, in this case $6$ .
