Question

I need to solve this polynomial please see pic attached

Answer 1

Let's write the polynomial in standard form (from the greatest to the least power):

`(1)/(8)x^4+6x^3+2`

From this form we notice the following things:

Then polynomial has three terms.

The polynomial greatest power is four, which means that this is a quartic polynomial.

The constant term (the terms without a variable) is 2.

The leading terms (the terms with the greatest power) is:

`(1)/(8)x^4`

The leading coefficient (the coefficient of the leading term) is 1/8.

With all this in mind we conclude that:

The expression represents a quarti
