Question

Write the polynomial –4x2 + 7x – 7x5 + 9x3 – 3 in standard form. Then give the leading coefficient.

Answer 1

The polynomial is –4x^2 + 7x – 7x^5 + 9x^3 – 3

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

ok so wait thats the standard form?

Answer 4

No, I'm just double checking that the numbers after the variable are not supposed to be coefficients.

Answer 5

oh yeah thats right !

Answer 6

Standard form means that you're putting the highest degree variables first.

Answer 7

In this case, that would be the x^5, then the x^3, then the x^2, and so on.

Answer 8

Oh okidoke thanks ! :D

Answer 9

Do you know what the leading coefficient is?

Answer 10

yeah I'm good !

Answer 11
