Question

Write the polynomial 3x^2 − 8x − 12x^5 − 5x^3 + 2x^4 − 6 in standard form. Then give the leading coefficient.

Answer 1

Answer: Our standard form is

$-12x^5+2x^4-5x^3+3x^2-8x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$3x^2-8x-12x^5-5x^3+2x^4-6$

We need to write in Standard form giving the leading coefficient:

So, In standard form, degrees must be in decreasing order.

Therefore, it becomes,

$-12x^5+2x^4-5x^3+3x^2-8x-6$

Hence, our standard form is

$-12x^5+2x^4-5x^3+3x^2-8x-6$

Answer 2

Answer:      −12x^5 + 2x^4 − 5x^3 + 3x^2 − 8x − 6

                    The leading coefficient is −12.
