Provide an example of a 4-term polynomial, not in standard form, and explain how to rewrite it in standard form.

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

A polynomial in standard form is to arrange the monomials in decreasing powers. For instance, if we have 3x + x3 + 2 - 4x2, the standard form is x3 - 4x2 + 3x + 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x + x3 + 2 - 4x2 is that <--- 4 term?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

do u get it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x^3 - 5x^5 + 14x^1 + 3x^0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that in standard form is... ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x^5 + 6x^3 + 14x^1 + 3x^0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not entirely sure but i think 4 term should only be cubed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry to the fourth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x^5 + 6x^3 + 14x + 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this might help http://www.purplemath.com/modules/polydefs.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could do 5x^4 + 6x^3 + 14x + 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x^4 or 5x^5 lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x^4
