@rebeccaxhawaii

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

find one with the exponents in descending order

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the degree of each term should be in descending order

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

therefore the 1st 3rd and 4th are incorrect

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

The first one is kind of descending order

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Wait you mean from least to greatest?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

no greatest to least

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

it would be the second one

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

well how can it be the 2nd one then?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

the first one has an exponent for the third term

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

2 is not greater than 4

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

the second one would be correct because only the first term has an exponent the second term isn't an exponent and neither is the 3rd

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

4 isnt an exponent
