Standard form: #-3x^4+1/2x+7#
Leading coefficient: #-3#

Explanation:

Standard form of polynomials is basically just writing the terms in order of decreasing power. In standard form, this polynomial is just #-3x^4+1/2x+7#. The leading coefficient is just the coefficient of the first term (-3x^4). So, the leading coefficient is #-3#.
