Arrange the following polynomial into descending order for x, then interpret the degree of the 2nd term. 7x3y3 + 4 − 11x5y2 − 3x2y

I know its not 5
what order would the x values be in from greatest to least x^3 x^5 x^2
x^5 x^3 x^2
yes, so that's how you would rearrange the overall problem
so from these choices: A. 7 B. 6 C. 5 D. 3 Would it be d? @jigglypuff314
I think so :) but I'm not entirely sure :P you might want to check that part with someone else

descending order of x means arrange x from highest power to lowest -11x5y2 +7x3y3 − 3x2y +4
degree of second term is 6
First, we must arrange in descending order: \[7x^3y^3+4-11x^5y^2-3x^2y \rightarrow -11x^5y^2+\color{red}{7x^3y^3}-3x^2y +4\] The degree of that term is the sum of the degree of x and y, so 3+3=6
I don't understand the question, the "interpret the degree of the second term
as powerof x+power of y=degree degree=3+3=6
@gorv @BTaylor ok is that it?
yeah that's it
@gorv thank you
