5x4y
–xy3

Answer 1

Answer:

option 1

option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Option 2 - $-4x^3y^2$

Option 5 - $5x^4y$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Which terms could be used as the first term of the expression below to create a polynomial with a degree of 5 written in standard form?

Solution :

The polynomial with a degree of 5 means the polynomial of highest power must be 5.

Now, we check one by one,

1) $2x^2y^2-3xy^3$ - the highest degree is 4

2) $-4x^3y^2$ - the highest degree is 5

3) $x^3$ - the highest degree is 3

4) $8.4x^4y^2$ - the highest degree is 6

5) $5x^4y$ - the highest degree is 5

6) $-xy^3$ - the highest degree is 4

Therefore, In the above options- option 2 and 5 has the highest degree 5 which means they both have a polynomial with a degree of 5.
