Question

Choose the polynomial written in standard form.
Choose one answer.
a. x3y2 + 4x4y + 10x9
b. x4y2 + 4x4y5 + 10x2
c. xy2 + 4x3y8 + 10x2
d. x4y5 + 4x3y2 + 10x2

Answer 1

Read the attached "blurb."

Answer 2

interesting

Answer 3

well im trying to find the order

Answer 4

still unsure @Directrix

Answer 5

Look in your text to determine how the standard form of a polynomial is defined. Apparently, the definition varies somewhat. We should go with the one in your text.

Answer 6

here is the definition
The standard form of a polynomial is when the polynomial is listed with each term in decreasing order of degree. Look at the following examples of polynomials written in standard form.

Answer 7

from my class.

Answer 8

Doesn't this option have each terms in decreasing order of degree?

d. x^4 y^5 + 4x^3y^2 + 10x^2

The exponents of the x variable drop from 4 to 3 to 2.
The exponents of the y variabel drop from 5 to 2 to 0.

Maybe you should post an example from your text of a 2-variable polynomial in standard form. Just a thought.

Answer 9

OHHH see, I was disregarding each term, i was looking at the whole equation and if i didnt realize how it was done , i would of thought the order would be 4 , 5, 4,3,2,10,2... But i get it now lol.
