How to write a polynomial in standard form and identify degree and LC

The video tutorial explains how to solve problems involving monomials by assigning powers to each term. It emphasizes writing expressions in standard form, starting with the largest power and descending. The instructor provides an example, introduces abbreviations for degree and leading coefficient, and concludes with a transition to the next example.
