The standard form indicates that the polynomial has no like terms and they are written in descending order, i.e. starting from the terms with the largest exponents to the smallest.

For example:


2x^2+3x-5
4x^3+5x+9
7x+1
6x^5+9

Are examples of polynomials written in standard form.

The given polynomials are:

1)


t^4-1

This polynomial has two terms, ordered from greatest to smallest and there are no like terms, you can say that it is written in standard form.

2)


-2t^2+3t+4

This polynomial has three terms, ordered from greatest to smallest and there are no like terms, you can say that it is written in standard form.

3)


4t-7

This polynomial has two terms, ordered from greatest to smallest and there are no like terms, you can say that it is written in standard form.

So, all polynomials are written in standard form
