Question

Which statement best describes the polynomial? -24x^7-12x^2-9x+6

a. It is in standard form because the exponents are in order from highest to lowest.
b. It is in standard form because the coefficients are in order from highest to lowest.
c. It is not in standard form because the constant should be the first term.
d. It is not in standard form because it can be further simplified.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A.
The exponents are in order from highest to lowest.

Answer 2

a. It is in standard form because the exponents are in order from highest to lowest.

Explanation:

-24x^7-12x^2-9x+6

A polynomial is in standard form when the exponents are in order from highest to lowest.

In the given expression , the exponent is in order x^7 and then x^2 and then x

Standard form does not depends on the coefficient of each each.

The given polynomial is in standard form because the exponent are in order from highest to lowest.
