Choose the correct classification of 3x^4-9x^3-3x^2+6 ? a) 5th Degree polynomial b) 4th Degree polynomial c) 9th Degree polynomial d) 24th Degree polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[10x +7 +2x -2 = 12x +5\]

Thankss !

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

@IceyHot the one in standard form is the choice that has decreasing exponents of x

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

do you still need more help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

okay...which do you think has decreasing exponents of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D ?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

x - x^2 - 9 the exponent of x is x^1 - x^2 - 9 is that decreasing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wait...you know what decreasing means right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol Yeah

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so what does it mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

"decreasing" means from highest to lowest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im guessing its B

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it would be B...however there is a second condition the exponent of y should be increasing...the exponent of y is not increasing in B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm ... c looks quite right

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yup it's c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks
