A
monomial
is a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables with whole-number exponents.
A
polynomial
is a monomial or a sum or difference of monomials.
The degree of the monomial is the sum of the exponents in the monomial.
The degree of the polynomial is the degree of the term with the greatest degree

The
standard form of
a
polynomial
is written with the
terms
in order from the greatest degree to
the least
degree. The coefficient of the first term is the
leading coefficient.
