How do you write a polynomial in standard form, then classify it by degree and number of terms #-6x^2+x^4#?

Answer 1

#x^4 -6x^2# . Degree is 4, it is binomial

In standard form the highest degree term come first followed by terms of lower degree in descending order. The given polynomial has #x^4# as the highest degree term. So, it would come first followed by the other term #6x^2#. This is a polynomial of degree 4. Since it has only two terms it would be binomial

To write a polynomial in standard form, arrange the terms in descending order of degree. For -6x^2 + x^4, it becomes x^4 - 6x^2. This polynomial is of degree 4 because the highest exponent is 4. It has two terms, so it's classified as a binomial.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
