Question

WILL MEDAL- EASY QUESTION I just don't remember what standard form looks like. Please explain or help.Choose the polynomial that is written in standard form.
2x2y2 + 3x4y + 10x6
4x4y2 + 6x3y5 + 10x
-3x8y2 + 9x2y + 10x2
-7x6y2 + x3y8 + 10x2

Answer 3

@jdoe0001 so it would be A right ?

Answer 4

hmm wwhat's the degree of the polynomial in B though?

Answer 5

well... how did you get 5? or 14 for that matter?

Answer 6

http://www.virtualnerd.com/images/Tutorial/Alg1_7_2_3-diagram_thumb-lg.png <---- notice how to get the degree, add ther "variables" exponents in each term

to make it in "standard form"

put them in descending order, from left to right

Answer 7

would it be c then because it goes in defending order from 8 to 2 ?

Answer 8

hmmm if "c" is \(\bf -3x^8y^2 + 9x^2y + 10x^2\)

what is the degree of each term?

Answer 9

10, 2, and 2 ? right

Answer 10

hmmm

Answer 11

you kinda missed the "y" there
\(\bf \Large -3x^8y^2 + 9x^2y^1 + 10x^2\)

Answer 12

oh so 10, 3 and 2 :)

Answer 13

so the 1st term is 8+2 = 10
the 2nd is 2+1 = 3
the last is just 2

so the degree of the terms are 10, 3,2
so they go in descending order from left to right
thus is in "standard form"

Answer 14

thank you! sorry that took so long for me to understand !
