Write the polynomial in standard form and determine the degree and LC

The video tutorial explains the concept of like terms in algebra, demonstrating how to combine them in expressions. It covers simplifying expressions with like terms, rearranging polynomial terms in descending order, and understanding the significance of X raised to the zero power. The tutorial concludes with identifying the degree and leading coefficient of a polynomial.

How do you arrange polynomial terms in descending order?
