Respuesta :

Polynomial standard form: each term is displayed from left to right, with decreasing degree per term.

In the case of 1). Standard form would look like this:

-4x^3 + x^2 + 3x

This is a third degree trinomial, as it has three terms, and it's largest term is of third degree.


2) In standard form: -2x^3 + 2

This is a third degree binomial, as it's highest degree is three, and it has two terms.  

Answer:

1.  -4x^3 +x^2 + 3x

This is degree 3  ( exponent ) so it is a cubic function

number of terms is 3 so it is a trinomial


2.-2x^3 +2


This is degree 3  ( exponent ) so it is a cubic function

number of terms is 2 so it is a binomial

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

x^2 + 3x - 4x^3


We need to put the exponents in order from largest to smallest

-4x^3 +

x^2 + 3x

This is degree 3  ( exponent ) so it is a cubic function

number of terms is 3 so it is a trinomial




2)

6 - 2x^3 - 4


Combine like terms

-2x^3 +2


They are in order from largest to smallest in terms of exponents so it is in standard form.

This is degree 3  ( exponent ) so it is a cubic function

number of terms is 2 so it is a binomial
