Consider the following polynomial:
6x + 5x^4 – 10x + 8x^3 – 7x2 + 9^2

Written in standard form, the polynomial has ____ terms.
The constant term is_____ .
In standard form, the coefficient of the linear term is _____ .

I think the constant term is 9^2

Answer 1

Yes, 9^2 = 81 is the constant term.

Answer 2

Note you can simplify the x terms.

Answer 3

so the standard form is 5x^4+8x^3-7x^2-4x+81 so it there 3 terms or?

Answer 4

or 4

Answer 5

neither

Answer 6

then what I don't know how about to go about it then

Answer 7

81 is a term

Answer 8

your standard form is correct

Answer 9

think of arranging your terms in order as follows (coefficients intentiionally left out):

x^4, x^3, x^2, x^1, x^0. Note that x^0 is 1, so 9^2x^0 is 9^2, or 81, and counts as a term.

So, how many terms have you here?

Answer 10

5?

Answer 11

yes
