Question

Which of the following shows the polynomial below written in descending order?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 4x¹² + 9x⁷ + 3x³ -x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

==================================================================

To write a polynomial in descending order, we write the terms with higher degrees, or exponents, first.

3x³ + 9x⁷ -x + 4x¹²

4x¹² has the highest degree, so it is written as the first term.

⇒4x¹²

9x⁷ has the next highest degree, so it is written next.

⇒4x¹² + 9x⁷

3x³ has the next highest degree, so it is written next.

⇒4x¹² + 9x⁷ + 3x³

-x has the lowest degree, so it is written last.

⇒4x¹² + 9x⁷ + 3x³ -x

4x¹² + 9x⁷ + 3x³ -x
