Question

medal for answer- Write the expression in standard form.Also determine the degree of the polyomial

2x3-4x+12x2-17- wrote it out three times and got 3 different answers ..

Answer 1

rewrite the expression so the exponents are in descending order, with the constant term last.

degree of a polynomial is the degree of the term with the highest degree. the degree of a term is the sum of all of the variable exponents in the term. Don't forget that we typically write \(x^1\) as \(x\), but it still has an exponent of 1.

Answer 2

so the degree of \(x^3y^2z = 6\)

Answer 3

Is this the expression ? x3 Y2 z
And then the degree is 6 ?

Answer 4

No, that was just an example.

\[2x^3-4x+12x^2-17\]What is the term with the largest exponent?
