D14x8

  1. What is the sum or difference? 5y4 – 9y4

A–45y4
B14y4
C–4y4
D–4y8

  1. Write the polynomial in standard form. Then name the polynomial based on its degree and number of terms. 5x + 2x4 – 4

A5x – 4 + 2x4; not a polynomial
B2x4 + 5x – 4; fourth-degree

Verified Answer :

  1. the degree is the highest exponent....so answer is 6
    2. there is no exponent in this, so the degree is 0
    3. 5x^8 + 9x^8 = 14x^8
    4. 5y^4 - 9y^4 = - 4y^4
    5. 2x^4 + 5x - 4......the degree is 4...and the number of terms is 3...so basically, it is a 4th degree trinomial

Answers :
1. C ) 6
2. C ) 0
3. D ) 14 x^8
4. C ) - 4 y^4
5.  B ) 2 x^4 + 5 x - 4 ; fourth degree
