Question

(Math question incoming) Are the Polynomials in standard form(Yes or No?) Identify the name of each Polynomial. Identify the leading coefficient. Identify the degree.

Answer 1

Standard polynomial form means that the terms are arranged from highest to lowest degree.

The leading coefficient is the number before the highest degree.

The degree of the polynomial is the power of the variable attached to the leading coefficient.

1) This is not in standard polynomial form.

The leading coefficient is -1.

This is a second-degree polynomial.

2) This is in standard polynomial form.

The leading coefficient is 3.

This is a fourth-degree polynomial.

3) This is not in standard polynomial form.

The leading coefficient is 3.

This is a fifth-degree polynomial.

4) This is in standard polynomial form.

The leading coefficient is -4.

This is a fifth-degree polynomial.

5) This is not in standard polynomial form.

The leading coefficient is -5.

This is a third-degree polynomial.

6) This is not in standard polynomial form.

The leading coefficient is -1.

This is a sixth-degree polynomial.

7) This is in standard polynomial form.

The leading coefficient is 2.

This is a second-degree polynomial.

8) This is in standard polynomial form.

The leading coefficient is 1.

This is a second-degree polynomial.

9) This is in standard polynomial form.

The leading coefficient is 1.

This is a third-degree polynomial.

10) This is not in standard polynomial form.
