We should reorganize the terms of this polynomial by descending order of exponents.
8v^7+2v^6-23v-10
The degree of a polynomial of a single variable is the greatest exponent of the variable. In this case, the leading term "8v^7" has degree 7. Likewise, the leading coefficient is the countability of the leading term. In this case, the leading term "8v^7" has leading coefficient 8.
