The polyester in standard form with zero placeholders is

-x^6+0x^5+3x^4+-7x^3+4x^2+0x+-1

7th term - 1

6th term 0x

5th term 4x^2

4th term - 7x^3

3rd term 3x^4

2nd term 0x^5

1st term - x^6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write 4x^2-7x^3-x^6+3x^4-1 in descending order means want the exponents to being counting down.

6 is the highest exponent so lets rearrange this so that tern comes first:

-x^6 + ...

5 is the highest but we are missing so now we have:

-x^6+0x^5 + ...

4 is the next highest and I see + 3x^4 in our polynomial so that comes next:

-x^6+0x^5+3x^4 + ...

3 is the next highest and I see - 7x^3 so that term comes next:

-x^6+0x^5+3x^4+-7x^3 + ...

2 is the next highest and I see + 4x^2 so that term comes next:

-x^6+0x^5+3x^4+-7x^3+4x^2 + ...

1 is the next highest and we are missing an x term so the next term is + 0x ...

-x^6+0x^5+3x^4+-7x^3+4x^2+0x + ...

0 is the next highest and will be the last term we write. This is the constant tern, the term without the variable and that is - 1.

-x^6+0x^5+3x^4+-7x^3+4x^2+0x+-1

Now I guess you are reading this from left to right when numbering the terms as first, second, and so on ...

1st term - x^6

2nd term 0x^5

3rd term 3x^4

4th tern - 7x^3

5th term 4x^2

6th term 0x

7th term - 1
