<h3>
Answer: Choice C) x^4 - 2</h3>
Explanation:
If the exponent is negative, then that means we apply the reciprocal. So something like x^(-2) becomes 1/(x^2). A polynomial cannot have a variable in the denominator like this. So we can rule out choices A, B, and D. Choice C is the only thing left. It is a polynomial because the exponent is a positive whole number.
I believe it would be negative 9 because your subtracting by twelve again. I hope that helped
The ascending or descending order of a polynomial is
determined by the increasing or decreasing power of variable “x” respectively.
<span>The question is to find about the polynomial in
descending order, so in this case, the 3rd option is correct, i.e.
4x^2 – 3x + 9 or 4x^2 – 3x^1 +9x^0. The power of “x”
decreasing from 2 to 1 and then finally to 0.</span>
