Question

How do you write a polynomial in standard form, then classify it by degree and number of terms `6+x^2-4x`?

Answer 1

Standard form for a quadratic is: `ax^2+bx+c`

So `6+x^2-4x" "->" "x^2-4x+6`

The degree is the largest index (power). You have `x^2` so the degree is 2

Number of terms is 3
