Answer 1

Which of the following shows the polynomial below written in descending order?

5x^4 + 16x^5 + 6 + 4x^10 + x

A. x + 6 + 16x^5 + 5x^4 + 4x^10
B. 6 + 5x^4 + 4x^10 + 16x^5 + x
C. 4x^10 + 16x^5 + 5x^4 + x + 6
D. 16x^5 + 5x^4 + 6 + 4x^10 + x

Answer 2

If the polynomial is written in descending order, then the coefficients have to be from greatest to least.

Therefore, the answer is C.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

An expression must have a monomial of degree 1 or higher to be a polynomial.

A. True
B. False

Answer 4

These are just terms, but I believe that the greatest degree must be 2 or higher to be considered a polynomial. The reason is you don't have to use the quadratic formula to solve for variables until you reach the second degree. So the correct answer is:

B, false.
