Standard form is when a polyonomial is written from highest degree to lowest degree

MsBrains (ms-brains):

So, how are we going to check this..?

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

http://www.softschools.com/math/algebra/topics/writing_polynomials_in_standard_form/ will help u :)

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

The degree is the exponent

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Okay what is the highest degree or Exponent

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

so highest degree is the highest little number that is there

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

which in this case is 5

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

+2 is always last because it has no exponent

MsBrains (ms-brains):

The highest exp is 5. so we narrowed it down to A and B, right?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Don't tell her let her try :) she can do it

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

yes

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

now which one has the corresponding subtraction/addition signs :)

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes and one of these has a small error that will tell you what equation is correct

MsBrains (ms-brains):

The + and - signs? So it'd be A that is correct?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

No, close

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

You need a -x^3 and -7x^2

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Not plus

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Why is that?

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

because in ur top polynomial thats what it says :)

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Because in the original equation it wants -x^3 and -7x^2 so you need to keep your signs the same

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Thank you both! I'd love to medal you both <3

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I can medal the other person :)

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

thanks :)
