You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Standard form just means that your degrees go in order. notice the degrees of your polynomial are 4, 2 ,0. Put it in that order.

-x^4 + 3x^2 +14
The leading coefficient is the number that is front of your first term once you are in standard form.
Notice -1 is that number. -1 is the leading coefficient.
