Question

Rewrite the following polynomial in standard form.1+ 10x − 2x³ + x5-x^2-9

Answer 1

Hello!

We have the following polynomial:

$1+10x-2x^3+x^5-x^2-9$

To put it in the standard form, we have to start with the highest exponent on the left and then write in decreasing order. Look:

$\begin{gathered} x^5-2x^3-x^2+10x-9+1 \\ \end{gathered}$

We can simplify it by solving -9 +1, look:

$x^5-2x^3-x^2+10x-8$
