Question

Write each polynomial in standard form. Then give the leading coefficient. You may need to combine like terms before writing the polynomial in standard form.

10-3x²+x^5 + 4x³

Answer 1

Explanation:

To write a polynomial in standard form, put the degree that are the greatest first

So here it would be

`{x}^(5) + 4 {x}^(3) - 3 {x}^(2) + 10`

Remember constant are numbers that you learned back in elementary,

Numbers like 10,90,4,1,0,-3 etc.

Remember that constant are basically represented like this

`k * {x}^(0)`

For example, 10 is represented like

`10 * {x}^(0)`

Since 0 is the smallest degree possible, for a polynomial, constants are the last term of a polynomial in standard form
