Part 1: Explain, in complete sentences, what it means to write a polynomial in standard form.

Part 2: Provide an example of a 4-term polynomial, not in standard form, and explain how to rewrite it in standard form.

My answer is

Part 1:

Writing a polynomial in standard form means putting all your variables in order from highest to lowest degree.

Part 2:

6x + 3x^3 + 2 + 9x^2

Put these in order from highest to lowest

3x^3 + 9x^2 + 6x +2

Am I right? :)
