Question

`4x+2x^2-7` ?

Rewrite the polynomial by the decending degree of x.?

Answer 1

The polynomial would be written as `2x^2+4x-7`.

Explanation:

The degree of a monomial is the highest power that its variable is raised to.

For example, the degree of `4x` is `1` (because `4x=4x^1`), the degree of `2x^2` is `2`, and the degree of `-7` is `0` (because `-7x^0=-7`).

Putting these in order of highest to lowest degree yields:

`2x^2+4x-7`

Answer 2

`2x^2+4x-7`

Explanation:

The first term `2x^2` has x raised to the second power, so x has second degree on that term, the next term `4x` has x to the first power, and the term `-7` doesn't have an x, so z is to the zeroth power.
