No, it's the opposite.. Descending order would be: 6 + 7x + x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know when it's descending order?

OpenStudy (igreen):

You always write the expression in order of the biggest exponent. x^2 has an exponent of 2. 7x has an exponent of 1. 6 has no exponent at all. So the correct order is: x^2 + 7x + 6
