-7 + 4x - 5x^2 + 3x^3....ascending means smallest to largest

For this case, we must identify the polynomial that is written in ascending order. If we want to order a polynomial of ascending form, we must organize the polynomial from least to greatest exponent. By definition, a polynomial is of the form:


P (x) = ax ^ n + bx ^ {n-1} + ... + cx ^ 3 + dx ^ 2 + ex + f

Where:

a, b, c, d, e, f: They are the coefficients of the polynomial

n, n-1,3,2,1,0: They are the exponents. This polynomial is of degree "n", because "n" is the largest exponent.

x: It is the variable

Then, we must see among the options given a polynomial written from least to greatest exponent, that is, from the form:


P (x) = f + ex + dx ^ 2 + cx ^ 3 + ... + bx ^ {n-1} + ax ^ n

So, among the options we have:


Q (x) = - 7 + 4x-5x ^ 2 + 3x ^ 3 written ascending

Answer:

Option C
