Front

What is Standard Form of a polynomial?

Back

A polynomial is in Standard Form when its terms are arranged in descending order of their degrees.

Front

Is the expression 6w^2 - 9w^3 in Standard Form?

Back

No, it is not in Standard Form because the term with the highest degree (9w^3) should be first.

Front

Back

Quartic (degree 3)

Front

What is a Linear polynomial?

Back

A Linear polynomial is a polynomial of degree 1, which can be expressed in the form ax + b.

Front

What is a Quadratic polynomial?

Back

A Quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 2, which can be expressed in the form ax^2 + bx + c.

Front

What is a Cubic polynomial?

Back

A Cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 3, which can be expressed in the form ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d.

Front

What is a Constant polynomial?

Back
