from largest to smallest:
-7a%5E3%2B2a%5E2%2B7a%2B6
the following polynomial degree: have a degree of+3 or this is a third-degree polynomial
When a polynomial contains more than three terms we simply call it a polynomial where the prefix 'poly' means 'many'.

so, type is: This polynomial has four terms.
