Answer 8

First, what is standard form?

Answer 9

@sleepyjess not sure

Answer 10

Standard form is when you write the polynomial in order of degree.

Answer 14

Do you understand what I posted?

Answer 15

@sleepyjess Kinda

Answer 16

Do you know what the degree of each term is?

Answer 17

@sleepyjess no

Answer 18

Ok, so that is where you are having an issue understanding this?

Answer 19

leading coefficient mean coefficient of highest degree variable

Answer 20

@sleepyjess Yea & @Nnesha IDK

Answer 21

standard form she already told

Answer 22

The degree of \(x^2\) is 2 because that is the exponent.

Answer 23

@sleepyjess Still no clue

Answer 24

first write in standard form
