3. Write the polynomial in standard form. Then name the polynomial based on its degree and number of terms. x + 7 – 4x^3

OpenStudy (dayakar):

DO HAVE ANY IDEA?

OpenStudy (faithspring):

I REALLY DONT HAVE AN IDEA

OpenStudy (dayakar):

write the expression in the form of descending order of x powers

OpenStudy (dayakar):

-4x^3+ 0*x^2 +x+7 this is the standard form

OpenStudy (dayakar):

what is the heighest power of x in the expression

OpenStudy (faithspring):

^3?

OpenStudy (dayakar):

can u write the power

OpenStudy (dayakar):

very good degree of the polynomial is 3 therefore its name according to the degree is cubic polynomial

OpenStudy (dayakar):

is it clear

OpenStudy (faithspring):

how did you get the standard form? like where did you get the zero and all that.

OpenStudy (dayakar):

plz respond quickly

OpenStudy (vhtran):

standard equation is just the highest exponent first to the lowest

OpenStudy (faithspring):

@dayakar how did you get 0*x^2

OpenStudy (dayakar):

multiplying any term with zero is zero because we don't have x^2 term

OpenStudy (dayakar):

you can write -4x^3 +x+7

OpenStudy (dayakar):

it has 3 terms according to number of terms name of the polynomial is trinomial

OpenStudy (faithspring):

so is it a cubic polynomial or trinomial? @datakar

OpenStudy (faithspring):

@dayakar *

OpenStudy (vhtran):

if it has 3 terms its trinomial

OpenStudy (faithspring):

thank you @vhtran
