Question

Rewrite in standard form identify the degree of the polynomial and the number of terms

Answer 1

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = y

Basically, you put all the numbers from greatest to least with exponents then variables.

We have the numbers:

9

-x²

2x^5

-7x

Put these numbers from least to greatest from the exponents.

2x^5 - x² - 7x + 9

The degree of the polynomial is the number with the greatest exponent. In this case, the highest exponent is 5.

The degree of the polynomial is 5.

Best of Luck!
