To write the polynomial in standard form, we need to arrange the terms in descending order of their exponents:

3z^4 - 7z^2 - 9z

To name the polynomial based on its degree and number of terms, we first count the number of terms, which is 3. Then we look at the highest exponent in the polynomial, which is 4. Therefore, this polynomial is a fourth-degree trinomial.
