The standard form of a polynomial in x is
a(n)*x^n + a(n-1)*x^(n-1) + ... + a(1)*x + a(0) = 0
where the a(i) are constants, for i = 0, 1, 2, ..., n.

It is p(x) = a(n)*x^n + a(n-1)*x^(n-1) + ... + a(1)*x + a(0)where n is an integer and the a(i) ae constants (coefficients). Normally they would be indexed using a suffix, but the browser used by this site does not permit us to use suffices.
It depends on the power to which the single variable is raised in that one term.
An algebraic number is one that is a root to a non-zero polynomial, in one variable, whose coefficients are rational numbers.Equivalently, if the polynomial is multiplied by the LCM of the coefficients, the coefficients of the polynomial will all be integers.
Each power should appear only once (for example, only one term which contains x cubed); the powers should be in descending order.
2st4 + s2t2 - 9s5t + 21 The degree of a polynomial with more than one variable is the largest sum of the powers in any single term. So the degree of the given polynomial is 6 (-9s5t1; 5 + 1).
There is not one, but several, standard forms for the equation of a line: for example, the slope-intercept form (which is basically the equation, solved for variable "y"); the form Ax + By + c = 0; and others.
