standard form: $2p^2-p$ degree = 2 number of terms = 2 This polynomial is a quadratic biomial.

RECALL: A polynomial is written in standard form if its terms are written in descending degree. Thus, the standard form of the given polynomial is: $=2p^2-4p+3p \\=2p^2-p$. This polynomial has degree 2 and has two terms. It is a quadratic binomial.
