Question

Which statement best describes the polynomial? 13y^8-4y^7+3y

Answer 1

Answer:

It is in standard form because the exponents are in order from highest to lowest.

Step-by-step explanation:

$13y^8-4y^7+3y$

When the polynomial is in standard form then the exponents of variables should be in the order from highest to lowest

For example, $x^2 +3x^1+5$ is in standard form. Because exponent starts at x^2 and then its decreasing to x^1

$13y^8-4y^7+3y$

Here the exponent starts at y^8 and then y^7 and then y

So the given polynomial is in standard form.

It is in standard form because the exponents are in order from highest to lowest.

Answer 2

Definitely B.  Note how the powers of y are presented in descending order by power:    y^8, y^7, y^1.
