The process of rearranging a polynomial in descending order refers to the act of systematically ordering its terms such that they descend in degree from the left to the right. The degree of a term is defined as the exponent of its variable. Take, for example, the polynomial 3x^2+7x^4-5x, which when reordered in descending order becomes 7x^4+3x^2-5x. This method of ordering polynomials improves readability and simplifies manipulation.
