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)
1. 3a^3b – 4ab^2 + a^2
2. 2. –8x^2y^2 + 10xy^4 – 6x^2y

My answers:
I think they are all written in standard form, but I may be wrong. lol can I get anyone to help!?

Standard form of a polynomial is when the powers are going from highest number to lowest number.

Take another look at your second one.

anonymous · Answer

the second one is:10xy^4 +–8x^2y^2 – 6x^2y right?

Im pretty sure. But I'll have @jim_thompson5910 double check. He's way smarter than me XD

anonymous · Answer

alright! :) thanks! @marissalovescats

anonymous · Answer

the degree of $ 10xy^4$ is 5

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

everything looks good yasminalli101

the first one stays the same at 3a^3b – 4ab^2 + a^2

the second one gets re-written to  10xy^4 –8x^2y^2  – 6x^2y
