Question

Which of these correctly rearranges the terms in this polynomial so like terms are next to each other? 3 - 6x + 4x2 + 3x - 6x2 - 4A. -6x^2 - 6x + 4x^2 - 4 + 3x+3B. 4x^2 - 6x^2 + 6x + 3x - 3-4 C. 4x^2 - 6x^2 - 6x + 3x + 3-4 D. -6x^2 - 6x + 4x^2 + 3x + 3 - 4

Answer 1

Given:

`3-6x+4x^2+3x-6x^2-4`

Let's correctly rearrange the polynomial.

A polynomial is written in the form where the term with the greatest exponent comes first. It is arranged from the term with the gretatest exponent to the term with the lowest expoenent ( in descending order with respect to the exponents).

Thus, we have the geneeral form:

`ax^2+bx-c`

Rearranging the polynomial, we have:

`4x^2-6x^2-6x+3x+3-4`

ANSWER:

`\text{ C. 4x}^2-6x^2-6x+3x+3-4`
