Question

Which polynomial is written in ascending order?

t2 – t + 4

t2 + 4 – t

4 + t2 – t

4 – t + t2

Answer 1

In order to solve this, you have to look at the order for each of the variable terms. In this case, t is your variable.
You have 3 terms.
\[4t^{0}=4\]
exponent is 0.
\[-t^{1}=-t\]
exponent is 1.
\[t^{2}\]
exponent is 2.

So you order them by exponents from least to greatest (ascending).
\[4-t+t^{2}\]
