Part A: create a fourth-degree polynomial with two terms in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form?

Answer 1

Here are a few examples of fourth degree binomials (2 term polynomials):

x⁴ + 2

2x⁴ + 3x³

x⁴ + x² (any polynomial that has a highest degree of 4 and 2 terms)

It is in standard form because the degree (exponent) of each term is in descending order. (greatest to least)

Answer 2

Ax⁴ + C = 0
