SOMEONE HELP PLEASE [7.01] Choose the polynomial that is written in standard form. (A) 2x3y2 + 4x4y + 8x7 (B)−3x4y2 + 4x4y5 + 10x2 (C)6xy2 + 4x3y8 + 9x2 (D)−2x5y3 + 4x2y2 + x2

do you know how to find the degree of a monomial (that has more than one variable)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you just add the exponents

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the degree of 2x^3y^2 is 3+2 = 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the degree of 4x^4y is 4+1 = 5 etc etc

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the expression that has the degrees going in decreasing order is the one that's the polynomial in standard form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get it now, thank you! :)
