What is the 1st term when 1 + 6x2 + 5x4 + 3x3 is arranged in descending order? 1 6x2 5x4 3x3
descending order...
5x^4 + 3x^3 + 6x^2 + 1...first term is 5x^4
Answer:
the first term is \(5x^4\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the polynomial \(1+6x^2+5x^4+3x^3\)
Arrange this polynomial in descending order. In other words we arrange this polynomial having exponent from greatest to smallest.
Exponents from descending order is given by
4, 3, 2, 0
So, the polynomial when arranged in descending order is given by
\(5x^4+3x^3+6x^2+1\)
Therefore, the first term is \(5x^4\)
