Question

how do you write a polynomial in standard form? example please

Answer 1

bahahahaha steve...

Answer 2

So we just take the letters out and leave the numbers?

Answer 3

i feel like its supposed to be harder than that

Answer 4

so 5x^2-2+3x would be 5-2+3

Answer 5

oh god steve

Answer 6

I thought you were serious ;)

Answer 7

order the terms by degree :)

Answer 8

highest first...

Answer 9

make it look like what you see in the first equation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial#Definition

Answer 10

so you don't just take out the numbers?

Answer 11

bahahaha steve is screwing with you because you asked a question that wasn't really answerable easily without an example

Answer 12

when you gave him an example he couldn't resist

Answer 13

since the topic isn't very difficult ;)

Answer 14

that's why i asked for an example

Answer 15

yeah but see i suck at math

Answer 16

order them by degree of term, with highest first.

Answer 17

this ain't hard math. this is as close to english as you can get... you are ordering letters with little numbers on top of them. the only real skill it requires is knowing how to order integers.

Answer 18

well I'm just figuring that out because i look and all i see is numbers so i have to ask somebody

Answer 20

for some things, it make sense to ask on a website like this. For others, you really ought to look it up first. saves everyone time, although steve doeswn't get his joke in

Answer 21

well this is a math website and since I'm already on here why not just ask?

Answer 22

1. we are volunteers and you are wasting our time so we can't spend it helping others.
2. you are acting really entitled by using resources that you could respect a little better.
3. random people here, me included, are less reliable than wikipedia (it's reviewed by more people) and other websites. Remember steve ;)

Answer 23

okay first of all you don't even have to answer my question that was your choice i just put it out there soo

Answer 24

I would like to counter that with the fact that I still have your question pop up in my newsfeed.

Answer 25

and this is a math website where u ask questions so I'm gonna ask question about math on a MATH WEBSITE

Answer 26

2. Feel free to do that, but I laugh at you when you enter college and nobody will help you on this website because nobody knows how.

Answer 27

well just scroll past it is that really too hard?

Answer 28

I shouldn't have to scroll. I am volunteering my time to help people. Me, and others that answer questions. You are asking questions. Get it straight.

Answer 29

American education has the general problem that all the students are extremely entitled and don't realize it until they reach higher education. The sooner you realize it, the sooner you appreciate what you have, and the easier it is to learn.

Answer 30

what are you even talking about okay someone offered this website to me because need help in math. I don't need you telling me i should post this cuz u have better things to do okay well do them you don't have to answer to my problem

Answer 31

*i need

Answer 32

if you want strangers to spend their time helping you, wouldn't you want to make their job easier?

Answer 33

*shouldnt

Answer 34

you are basically telling me that it's fine to kick a person in the shins when they hold the door for you

Answer 35

okay what are you even talking about tbh

Answer 36

this is so stupid

Answer 37

I'm saying that you should try to answer your own questions before you ask them.

Answer 38

@inkyvoyd isnt this a little pointless.

Answer 39

Jhanny, it's more than a little pointless

Answer 40

well you don't think i did dip

Answer 41

But it improves my smartscore BAHAHAHA

Answer 42

every 10 posts I spam on here I get the same score as a medal basically

Answer 43

or something like that I don't remember

Answer 44

@inkyvoyd ..... no it doesnt. SMFH

Answer 45

you know I just asked a question and got all this negative feedback wtf

Answer 46

I don't remember the exact number, but remember when thomaster posted the javascript to check the algorithmn

Answer 47

chats are 1 point, posts ar elike 100 or something

Answer 48

Well, hopefully I answered your question lulz

Answer 49

basically the system is encouraging me to get in petty fights with other people since it improves my algorithmically defined metric - why not?

Answer 50

but you should've read what steve wrote - first it was ax+by=c where a, b and c are real numbers

Answer 51

stop blaming your problems on everything else.

Answer 52

hahaha I like how you extended the context of that from everyone else to everything else.

Answer 53

That reasoning was so pathetic I cant even....what is life,.

Answer 54

ikr

Answer 55

Do I need reasoning to respond to the post? I already explained my reasons for posting so much in the first place

Answer 56

every 10 posts I manage is a medal

Answer 57

yeah doesn't mean u have to be a B just to get ur little immature medal

Answer 58

Idc how many medals you obtain by answering posts. Imagine @satellite73 making the same argument to why he's at 100 SS. Think that's really logical?

Answer 59

Mel, I'm referring to the fact that the smartscore here is based on an internal point counter, and you earn points for various actions. Medals give you points, but so does posting. Posting earns fewer points, but enough posts will compensate.

Answer 60

Jhanny, you don't care, but I do. that's the reason I'm posting. I don't really understand what you're getting at

Answer 61

who the f cares about these stupid medals like what does it get u?

Answer 62

entertainment. It's like why we play video games and level up ourcharacters

Answer 63

He's reasoning as to why he's spamming your post with nonsense just to get the point across that he answered your post in this muddled mess so he can get medals as well as "earn points". He's not really trying to offend you I don't think.

Answer 64

Personally I find this stupid, *sips tea*

Answer 65

Nah, I changed from trying to offend him to trying to offend you jhanny. you came at me like a madwoman.

Answer 66

With cats?

Answer 67

im a girl

Answer 68

not a him

Answer 69

Oh, my bad. *her

Answer 70

(he might secretly be a girl)

Answer 71

SEXISM IS INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM OMG

Answer 72

i just corrected u chill

Answer 73

I dont' think you got the joke Mel

Answer 74

well more like a saracastic rant, but w/e

Answer 75

its 1 am I'm not really in the mood for jokes

Answer 76

did you get your questiona nswered?

Answer 77

bahahaha my teamwork is higher than my problem solving

Answer 78

Answer 79

I guess that's what I get for a primarily post and chat reliant point economy

Answer 80

oooooo

Answer 81

psh...

Answer 82

she's bringing fire

Answer 83

first time in a long time that I"ve even bothered answering questions

Answer 84

Yeah thats what i found surprising.

Answer 85

heck, normally I just go on that other website to whine

Answer 86

sounds like something you would do

Answer 87

Rather, you like to sit in mathchat and talk about your feelings with dan half the time, i could see why you're just beginning to answer questions :)

Answer 88

HAHAHAHA DAN

Answer 89

You got the joke, let me give you a silent clap.

Answer 90

I'd sooner one of those random underage girls in chat than *meet* that annoying sob

Answer 91

does everybody know just everybody on this website?

Answer 92

Like that isn't just as pathetic. LOL.

Answer 93

maybe it's more. I can't tell

Answer 94

When you've been here for years, yes @Mel_

Answer 95

stop roasting me, I'm getting sick of asserting your damn insults.

Answer 96

I'm not as good as miwi is at it anyways.

Answer 97
