Question

What is the 1st term when -5z^2+7z^4+11z-8z^3 is arranges in descending order

Answer 1

The first term in the descending order of the given expression is
`7z^4`.

Explanation:

We are giving the following expression and we are to arrange it in descending order and tell its which term comes first:

`-5z^2+7z^4+11z-8z^3`

Rearranging the given expression in descending order, starting with the highest power, we get:

`7z^4 - 8z^3 - 5z^2 + 11z`

Therefore, the first term we get is
`7z^4`.

Answer 2

Answer: The first term is
`7z^(4)`

Explanation:

1. To rewrite the given polynomial in descending order, you must see the exponent of each variable of the terms. Then, you must arrange the terms from bigger to smaller.

2. Keeping this on mind, you have:

`7z^(4)-8z^(3)-5z^(2)+11z`

3. As you can see, the first term is:
`7z^(4)`
