Question

Identify the polynomial written in descending order. (1 point)
Question 14 options:

1) 4x3+ 12x2- 5x - 1

2) -1 - 5x + 12x2+ 4x3

3) -5x - 1 + 4x3+ 12x2

4) 12x2+ 4x3- 1 - 5x

Answer 1

descending order means highest to lowest :)
When we write polynomials in descending order (highest to lowest), this means we write the term with the HIGHEST exponent (power) first and then the lower ones after.

For example, x^3 - x^2 - x + 20 is written in descending order :)

Answer 2

so the answer is #1?

Answer 3

so yes option 1 is correct :D!
