The first polynomial is-


x^2+x^4-3x^3+14x^2-5

Remember that the degree of a polynomial is defined by the greatest exponent. So, in this case, the degree is 4.

The standard form refers to the polynomial in the right order.


x^4-3x^3+15x^2-5

Therefore, the initial polynomial is not in standard form.

The second polynomial is


x^6-x^7+x^3-1

The degree of this polynomial is 7.

This polynomial is not in standard form since it's not in the right order.
