Question

How do you write a polynomial in standard form, then classify it by degree and number of terms `3s^2 + 12s^3 + 6`?

Answer 1

`12s^3+3x^2+6` is a third degree polynomial with three terms.

Explanation:

`3s^2+12s^3+6`

In standard form, the exponents are written from the largest exponent to the least exponent. `(6=6^1)`.

Standard form

`12s^3+3x^2+6`

This is a third degree polynomial with three terms.
