Answer:

b. x^4 + 4x^2 + 8x

Explanation:

I took the test. Also the exponents need to be in descending order in order for the equation to be in standard form.

So b, starts with an exponent of 4, the decreased to just the x variable with an understood exponent.

Decreasing -> 4,2,(1)

Hope this helps :)
