Answer:
Option 2 - \(-4x^3y^2\)
Option 5 - \(5x^4y\)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find : Which terms could be used as the first term of the expression below to create a polynomial with a degree of 5 written in standard form?
Solution :
The polynomial with a degree of 5 means the polynomial of highest power must be 5.
Now, we check one by one,
1) \(2x^2y^2-3xy^3\) - the highest degree is 4
2) \(-4x^3y^2\) - the highest degree is 5
3) \(x^3\) - the highest degree is 3
4) \(8.4x^4y^2\) - the highest degree is 6
5) \(5x^4y\) - the highest degree is 5
6) \(-xy^3\) - the highest degree is 4
Therefore, In the above options- option 2 and 5 has the highest degree 5 which means they both have a polynomial with a degree of 5.
