See explanation.

Explanation:

To write this polynomial in standard form you have to multiply all terms in brackets by $a^3$ .

$a^3*(a^2+a+1)=a^5+a^4+a^3$

Now the polynomial in standard form is:

$P(a)=a^5+a^4+a^3$

This polynomial is a sum of $3$ expressions, so it is a trinomial, the highest exponent is $5$ , so we can say that the polynomial is
a trinomial of fifth degree.
