Question

Where would I start when rewriting polynomials in standard form? I have my notes but they’re still unclear to me.

Answer 1

Explanation:

standard form = combine like therms and degrees drop from left to right

In this there aren’t like therms, so:

6x^3+x^2-9x+5

therms = each therm is seprated by a plus or a minus

in this case there are 4 therms

degree = look at the monomial with the highest degree

in this case is 3

Name = in this case there are four therms so it is a quadrinomial

Answer 2

Standard form denotes to arranging according to degrees or exponents

Standard form

• 6x³+x²-9x+5

Number of terms=4

Degree=3

Name Quadrinomial or Biquadratic
