write the polynomial in standard form then name the polynomial based on its degree and number of terms 10 g - 7 g^3 + 2g^2 - 5
a. -7g^3 + 2g^2 + 10g - 5 cubic polynomial
b. -5 + 10g + 2g^2 - 7g^3 cubic binomial
c. 7g^3 - 2g^2 + 10g - 5 quadratic binomial
d. 2g^2 - 7g^3 + 10g - 5 cubic trinomial
I think it is A, but not sure at all.
Please help me with this the test is timed! THANKS!
Timed? Is it a test?
but yes, it is A.
To write the polynomial in standard form, we generally arrange the terms in descending order of their exponents. Let's rearrange the given polynomial, 10g - 7g^3 + 2g^2 - 5:
-7g^3 + 2g^2 + 10g - 5
The polynomial has four terms and the highest degree term is -7g^3, which has an exponent of 3. Therefore, the polynomial is a cubic polynomial.
So, you were correct. The answer is:
a. -7g^3 + 2g^2 + 10g - 5 cubic polynomial
