Question 78536 • Common Core Algebra I B-IC

Raj was asked to fully simplify this polynomial and put it into standard form.2x2y + 8x3 – xy2 – 2x3 + 3xy2 + 6y3Raj simplified the polynomial with a final term of 6y3. What is the first term of the polynomial Raj ended up with?

Answer
A
6x3
B
8x3
C
2xy2
D
3xy2

Explanation

Combine like terms: 8x³ − 2x³ = 6x³, and −xy² + 3xy² = 2xy². The simplified polynomial in standard form is 6x³ + 2x²y + 2xy² + 6y³, so its first term is 6x³, choice A.
