Question

HELP ASAP ALGEBRA 2 please!!

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

A polynomial in ascending order means the term of lowest degree is first, followed by terms of increasing degree

A constant has degree zero

A term with x has degree 1

A term with x² has degree 2

A term with x³ has degree 3 ... and so on, thus

- 11 - 6x + 2x² + 8x³ ← is written in ascending order

Answer 2

- 11 - 6x + 2x^2 +8x^3

Explanation:

Usually polynomials are written in descending order, with the highest exponent value going first. In this problem, you need to find the lowest exponent value, and go up from there. After looking at all the answers, you can conclude that - 11 - 6x + 2x^2 +8x^3 is correct.

I hope this helps!
