anonymous · Answer

Do you know what standard form looks like?

anonymous · Answer

highest to lowest @faith2012

anonymous · Answer

Yes. So you'd put the numbers with the variables in the front.

anonymous · Answer

To order the variables, you have to put the one with the highest power in the beginning.

anonymous · Answer

So it would be 6x^2-3x+4

anonymous · Answer

7x^3+5x-8

anonymous · Answer

Then name each polynomial based on its degree and number of terms ?? @faith

anonymous · Answer

Okay, do you know what a polynomial is?

anonymous · Answer

yeah

anonymous · Answer

an expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable(s)

anonymous · Answer

Good, do you know the names of them?

anonymous · Answer

tri &  bi ?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, trinomial is when it has 3 different terms. And bi is when it is only 2 different terms.

anonymous · Answer

The first is a trinomial, since there is an x^2, an x, and then just a 4.

anonymous · Answer

The second is also a trinomial.
