Question

How do you write a polynomial in standard form, then classify it by degree and number of terms `3x^4 − 9x^3 − 3x^2 + 6`?

Answer 1

Refer tot he explanation.

Explanation:

Given:

`3x^4-9x^3-3x^2+6`

You have already written the polynomial in standard form, from highest to lowest exponent and then the constant.

This is a 4th degree polynomial because the highest exponent is `4` in `x^4`.

It has four terms, which are separated by addition and subtraction symbols.
