Question

Write each polynomial in standard form.

6y5 – 4y8 – 2 + 4y3


a. –2 + 4y3 + 6y5 – 4y8

b. –4y8 + 6y5 + 4y3 – 2

c. –4y8 + 6y5 + 4y3 + 2

d. –2 – 4y8 + 6y5 + 4y3

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C:

c. –4y8 + 6y5 + 4y3 + 2

Explanation:

The "standard form" means that you have to write the terms by descending degree.

6y5 – 4y8 – 2 + 4y3

The greatest exponent is y^8, then y^5, then y^3 and last y^0

The standard form for this polynomial is:

`-4y^8+6y^5+4y^3-2`

Th options are:

a. –2 + 4y3 + 6y5 – 4y8

b. –4y8 + 6y5 + 4y3 – 2

c. –4y8 + 6y5 + 4y3 + 2

d. –2 – 4y8 + 6y5 + 4y3
