To classify the polynomial , let’s analyze it by its degree and number of terms.

Step 1: Identify the degree

The degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial. In this case:

1.The term has a degree of 6.

2.The term has a degree of 5.

3.The term has a degree of 3.

4.The constant term -1 has a degree of 0.

Since the highest degree is 6, this polynomial is classified as a sextic polynomial.
