(2 points each)

9x2yz
18x2 + 5ab – 6y
8a – 5
4x3 + 3x2 – x – 4
x + 2xyz
3x + y + z
2x3y + y2x – 3x + 4
6x2
Part 2

Explain whether the polynomials below are written in standard form. If not, use complete sentences to explain how to write the polynomial in standard form. (2 points each)

3a3b – 4ab2 + a2
–8x2y2 + 10xy4 – 6x2y

Answer 1

polynomials written in standard form are written with terms descending in degree

Answer 2
