Express the polynomial 3x^2+x-6 in standard form and then classify it.

OpenStudy (jingle535):

So to start, to you know what standard form is?

OpenStudy (laacmichael):

3x^2+x-6

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

well the question is already in the standard form

OpenStudy (laacmichael):

ok

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Make sure the quadratic equals to 0.

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

The "Standard Form" for writing down a polynomial is to put the terms with the highest degree first (like the "2" in x2 if there is one variable).

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Standard form: \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\)

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

a polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial

OpenStudy (laacmichael):

Here are the choices quintic cubic quadratic quartic

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

I think the answer was already given off with all the replied from other users

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

A polynomial of highest degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial
