Question

Write the polynomial in standard form. Then name the polynomial based on its degree and number of terms. 2-11x^2-8x+6x^2

Answer 1

do you know how to write polynomials in standard form?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Okay so when you're writing them in standard form you need the highest exponential value first and then in descending order from there

Answer 4

11x

Answer 5

oh ok i get it

Answer 6

is it -6x^2-8x-2 cubic polynomial

Answer 7

Yep you also need to combine like terms so both of the x^2 need to be put together

Answer 8

oh ok

Answer 9

and its 4 terms so it is a polynomial

Answer 10

so let me think

Answer 11

my first answer was wrong?

Answer 12

um i think so you need to combine -11 and + 6

Answer 13

-5x^2-8x+6x^2

Answer 14

so you have (-11+ 6)x^2 - 8x + 2

Answer 15

so thats wrong to

Answer 16

i did that its -5x^2

Answer 17

-8x+2

Answer 18

is that right

Answer 19

@ShadowLegendX

Answer 20

Yes sorry openstudy issues.

Answer 21

do you know how to find degree of a polynomial?

Answer 22

oh its ok

Answer 23

no

Answer 24

okay for a monomial (one term) you just add all the exponents but this is a polynomial (multiple terms) so you find the highest exponential value and that is your degree

Answer 25

this one looks like it is x^2 so its a second degree polynomial :)

Answer 26

Does that help?
