Check my work please ^^
Is this polynomial written in standard form?
Orginal:
1. 3a^3b – 4ab^2 + a^2
Rewritten:
3a^3b + a^2 - 4ab^2

standard form means, the terms are in order from left to right in descending degree.

in the original, the degrees would be
3+1, 2+1, 2
4, 3, 2

yours would be...
3+1, 2, 2+1
4,2,3

:O so it was already in standard form?

accessdenied · Answer

Yep.  I do believe they like to toss in polynomials already in standard form into these kinds of problems, lol.

Oh, thank you! Can you check my other one...I have  feeling I got that wrong too >.<

2. –8x^2y^2 + 10xy^4 – 6x^2y I rewrote that as 10xy^4 8x^2y^2 - 6x^2y

accessdenied · Answer

That looks mostly correct to me.  (there should be a minus sign between the 10xy^4 an 8x^2y^2, but it is the correct ordering)
