f(x)=-2x^2(-8x+5x^2+3)

Question

write the polynomial in standard form then classify according to the degree and terms

Answer 1

f(x) = -2x²(-8x + 5x² + 3)

 

      = 16x³ - 10x⁴ - 6x²

 

      = -10x⁴ + 16x³ - 6x²    (standard form)

 

f(x) is a 4th degree (highest exponent = 4) polynomial with 3 terms (trinomial).
