Question

2 - 11x^2 - 8x + 6x^2
(1 point)

A. -5x^2 - 8x + 2; quadratic trinomial

B. -5x^2 - 8x; quadratic trinomail

C. -6x^2 - 8x - 2; cubric polynomial

D. 6x^2 - 8x + 2; cubric trinomial

Answer 1

To write the given polynomial in standard form, we combine like terms:

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

Combine the like terms:

(2 - 8x) - (11x^2 - 6x^2)

Simplify:

2 - 8x - 5x^2

Therefore, the polynomial in standard form is -5x^2 - 8x + 2.

Based on its degree and number of terms, the name of the polynomial is:

B. -5x^2 - 8x; quadratic trinomial
