Answer

The standard form is also $\sqrt {7}n^{4}$. The degree is $4$. The leading coefficient is $\sqrt 7$. This polynomial is classified as a monomial.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $\sqrt {7}n^{4}$. The standard form is obtained by writing the terms of the polynomial in the decreasing order of their exponents. Since this polynomial contains only one term, the standard form is also $\sqrt {7}n^{4}$. The greatest degree of the terms in a polynomial is called the degree of it. In this case, it is $4$. The coefficient of the first term of the polynomial written in standard form is called leading coefficient. Here, the leading coefficient is $\sqrt {7}$. Since the number of terms in this polynomial is one, it is classified as a monomial.
