Standard form: $-3g^3 + 4g^2 + 8g - 1$
Degree: $3$
Terms: $4$

In standard form, the terms are expressed from the largest to smallest exponent:
$-3g^3 + 4g^2 + 8g - 1$

Classifying by degree means to find the highest exponent of the terms, so the degree is $3$ .

A term is a value split by the addition and subtraction operations, so there are 4# terms.

Hope this helps!
