The question says "essay" but it is very straightforward and can be answered with a few words. In fact, the word "essay" comes from the French word "essai" which can be taken to mean "short narrative" but can mean many other things.
A "term" is simply a number/expression that is being added up. Here, 7x^5, -3x^3, x, and 2/5 are the terms.
The "coefficients" are the constants that precede the variable terms, for example, 7, -3, 1, 2/5 in this case.
The "degree" is the highest exponent of a variable in a polynomial, here it is 5.
