Standard form: $x^2y^2 + xy - 1$ (the form it is on right now)
Degree: $2$
Terms: $3$

This polynomial is already in standard form. It is listed from the largest to smallest exponent.

Classifying by degree means to find the highest exponent, which is $2$ .

Terms are split by addition or subtract operations, so there are $3$ terms.

Hope this helps!
