Question

Which of the following shows the polynomial below written in descending order?

3x^3 - 5x + x + 9 + 4x^11

A) 9 + 4x^11 + x + 3x^3 - 5x
B) 4x^11 + x - 5x + 9 + 3x^3
C) 4x^11 + x + 3x^3 - 5x + 9
D) x^2 + 3x^3 + 9 + 4x^11 - 5x

Answer 1

The polynomial written in descending order is: C) 4x^11 + x + 3x^3 - 5x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial written in descending order is:

C) 4x^11 + x + 3x^3 - 5x + 9

To write a polynomial in descending order, we arrange the terms from highest degree to lowest degree. In this case, the terms are:

• 4x^11
• x
• 3x^3
• -5x
• 9
