Question

Which terms could be used as the last term of the expression below to create a polynomial written in standard form? Check all that apply.

–5x2y4 + 9x3y3 + _____

)x⁵
)y⁵
)–4x⁴y⁵
)6x⁴y
)-xy⁵

Answer 1

As we see that the exponent of x is increasing and y is decreasing. Therefore second , third and fifth option are not possible . And since its ask for the last term, so first and fourth , both options are possible.

Therefore , to create a polynomial written in standar form, correct options are first and fourth .
