1) 2x^2+x^4-6
2)3x-4x^y+5-3x^5

Answer 1

a) \[ x^4 +2x^2 - 6 \]

Answer 2

1) x^4+2x^2-6

Answer 3

in the second polynomial the order depends on the value of y

Answer 4

2) -3x^5-4x^y+3x for y less than five and greater than one

Answer 5

-4x^y-3x^5+3x for y greater than 5

Answer 6

-3x^5+3x-4x^y for y less than one

Answer 7
