Question

Write the standard form for the polynomial function from number 2.

Answer 1

The polynomial function from number 2 is:

f(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x - 1

To write this in standard form, we need to arrange the terms in descending order of degree:

f(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x - 1

f(x) = 4x^3 + (-5x^2 + 2x - 1)

f(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x - 1

So the standard form of the polynomial function is:

f(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x - 1
