Question

what is the standard form of the polynomial 10x + 3x^2 - 8?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall standard - form rule

The standard form of a polynomial arranges the terms in descending order of the exponent of the variable.

Step2: Rearrange terms

For the polynomial \(10x + 3x^{2}-8\), the term with the highest - power of \(x\) is \(3x^{2}\), then \(10x\) (since the exponent of \(x\) is 1), and then the constant term \(-8\). So the standard form is \(3x^{2}+10x - 8\).

Answer:

\(3x^{2}+10x - 8\)
