Which of the following polynomials is written in standard form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(2x^3+x^2+5x+1\)
In the standard form of a polynomial, its terms are arranged in descending order of their powers. In option A, the powers are 3, 2, 1 and 0, so it is in standard form. Options B, C and D contain the same terms but are not arranged in descending order. Exam tip: begin with the term having the highest power and then write the remaining terms in decreasing powers.
