Write in descending-exponent form and give the degree.

Descending-exponent form simply means that you put the term with the highest exponent () first, followed by the term with the next lowest exponent (), and so on. So, it would look like this:

The degree of a polynomial, such as you have here, is given by the highest exponent which, in this case, is 6 (from).
So this is a polynomial of the 6th degree.
