Question

Which polynomials are in standard form? Choose all answers that apply:

a. 0.10 - n
b. 5n + 3n³ - 1
c. n + 4n² - 7n³
d. None of the above

Answer 1

None of the polynomials listed (a. 0.10 - n, b. 5n + 3n³ - 1, c. n + 4n² - 7n³) are in standard form because their terms are not ordered from highest to lowest degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which polynomials are in standard form, we need to remember that a polynomial is in standard form when its terms are ordered from highest to lowest degree. Let's examine each option:

• 
  
• a. 0.10 - n is not in standard form because the terms should be ordered by degree with the highest degree (the n term) first.
• 
  
• b. 5n + 3n³ - 1 is not in standard form. It should be 3n³ + 5n - 1 to be in standard form, with the cubic term first.
• 
  
• c. n + 4n² - 7n³ is not in standard form, but -7n³ + 4n² + n would be.
• 
  
• d. None of the above is the correct choice, as none of the polynomials listed are in standard form.
