Question

rewrite the following polynomial in standard form.

\\x^3 + \frac{1}{2}x^4 + 8\\

answer attempt 1 out of 5

Explanation:

Identify the terms and their degrees

The given polynomial is:

$$ x^3 + \frac{1}{2}x^4 + 8 $$

The terms and their corresponding degrees are:

• \(x^3\) has degree 3
• \(\frac{1}{2}x^4\) has degree 4
• \(8\) has degree 0

Order terms by descending degree

Arrange the terms from the highest degree to the lowest degree:

$$ \frac{1}{2}x^4 + x^3 + 8 $$
