Question 23 • Geometry: Concepts and Connections

Which statement best describes the polynomial? negative 24 x to the 7th power minus 12 x squared minus 9 x plus 6

Answer
A
It is in standard form because the exponents are in order from highest to lowest.
B
It is in standard form because the coefficients are in order from highest to lowest.
C
It is not in standard form because the constant should be the first term.
D
It is not in standard form because it can be further simplified.

Explanation

A polynomial is in standard form when its terms are written in descending order of their exponents. Here the exponents are 7, 2, 1, and 0, so −24x⁷ − 12x² − 9x + 6 is in standard form.
