WRITING POLYNOMIALS IN STANDARD FORM

Standard form of a polynomial :

The standard form of a polynomial is a way of writing a polynomial such that the term with the highest power of the variables comes first followed by the other terms in decreasing order of the power of the variable.

What is the Degree of a Polynomial ?

A polynomial’s degree is the highest or the greatest power of a variable in a polynomial equation.

The degree indicates the highest exponential power in the polynomial (ignoring the coefficients).

Express each polynomial in standard form. Also, state the degree of the polynomial.

Problem 1 :

-1 + 2m2 – 3n

Solution :

Standard form of the given polynomial is

2m2 – 3n – 1

The degree of the polynomial is 2.

.Problem 2 :

5p2q + p6 – q4 + q3r2 – 9 + 7p

Solution :

Standard form of the given polynomial is

p6 + 5p2q + 7p – q4 + q3r2 – 9

The degree of the polynomial is 6.

Problem 3 :

7u2 – 4v + u2v + 2

Solution :

Standard form of the given polynomial is

7u2 + u2v – 4v + 2

The degree of the polynomial is 2.

Problem 4 :

-g4 + 6g2 – g – 8 – g5

Solution :
