Which expression represents the polynomial −2x2−4x4+8x+x5−2x3 rewritten in descending order? a-  −2x2−4x4+8x+x5−2x3 b- −4x4−2x2+8x+x5−2x3 c- −4x4−2x3−2x2+8x+x5 d- x5−4x4−2x3−2x2+8x e- 8x+x5−2x2−2x3−4x4

For this case we have the following polynomial:

By definition, a polynomial in its standard form is given by:

Where:

a, b, c, d, e, f: They are the coefficients of each term of the polynomial.

x: It is the variable

n, i, 3,2,1,0: They are the exponents of each term of the polynomial, where n is the exponent of greater degree.

In this case they ask us to order the given polynomial, in a descending way, that is, from greater to lesser degree.

So, we have:

Thus, the polynomial in its descending form is given by:

Option D
