Part A:
A fourth-degree polynomial in standard form is :
- To write a polynomial in a standard form you have to set its terms according to the variable powers in a descending order.
In this example it would give:
−6[tex]x^{4}[/tex]+3[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+4x +2
- The degree of a polynomial is the maximum power of an unknown variable in the polynomial.
Part B:
The closure property as it relates to polynomials are :
- Polynomials are closed for addition and subtraction. This is because the power does not change.
- Only the coefficients are changed.
- This is illustrated by the examples below:
(2x2 + 3x + 4) + (x2 - 5x - 3)
3x2 - 2x + 1.
- The above operation does not change the degree. Only the number next to each variable changes.
Therefore, the addition and subtraction of polynomials is closed.
