Question

write the following equation in standard form 8/7x^3+x^4+6x+1

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x^4+\dfrac{8}{7}x^3+6x+1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write any polynomial in standard form, you look at the degree of each term. You then write each term in order of degree, from highest to lowest.

We have:

$\dfrac{8}{7}x^3+x^4+6x+1$

Look at the degrees for each term in the expression:

$\dfrac{8}{7}x^3$ has a degree of 3

$x^4$ has a degree of 4

$6x$ has a degree of 1

$1$ has a degree of 0

Write this trinomial in order by degree, highest to lowest

$x^4+\dfrac{8}{7}x^3+6x+1$
