Final answer:

The polynomial 4x² - 9x + 13 is already in simplified standard form. If seeking solutions to this as an equation, one would use the quadratic formula, but that is not asked for in the student's question. correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves simplifying a quadratic polynomial and writing it in standard form. In standard form, a polynomial is written in descending order of the powers of the variable, which is typically "x". The original polynomial provided by the student, 4x² - 9x + 13, is already in this simplified and standard form.

If the student is looking for the solutions to this polynomial set equal to zero, one would apply the quadratic formula. However, given the information, it seems that they have simply provided a quadratic expression in standard form, and so the student's question appears to be already answered with the polynomial as it is given.
