standar form is writing the greater exponent first and the coefficient is one

Degree is the value of the greates exponent on this case is

clasisify term it is the number of terms of the polynomial, on this case we has 3 terms
(-2x^2 , x^4 and 3) then is a Trinomial
How do you determine like in a graph if the degree is even or odd and as well as the leading coefficient positive or negative
1. when the degree is even the graph is a parable and when is odd is something like this
2. when the graph opens to up the leading coefficient is positive and when opens to down is negative
