Question

which polynomials are in standard form?

choose all answers that apply:

a. 3z-1
b. 2+4x-5x^2
c. -5p^5+2p^2-3p+1
d. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

A and C are the correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monomials without a variable go after the monomials with a variable. Variables with high exponents go first. A and C both show those.

• In choice A, since 3z has a variable, it goes before 1.
• In choice C, since -5p^5 has the highest exponent it does go first.
• Then 2p^2, since it has the second highest exponent.
• Then -3p follows, with the lower exponent.
• Then 1 goes last because it has no variable and has the lowest exponent.
