  • 2. 

    Which term is of the highest degree in the polynomial: 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 6x + 5?

    • 2x^3

    • 4x^2

    • -6x

    • 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 2x^3
    Explanation
    The term "2x^3" has the highest degree because it has the highest exponent of the variable x, which is 3.

    • 0

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    A quadratic polynomial has a degree of 2, which means the highest exponent of the variable is 2.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which transformation involves multiplying all coefficients by a constant?

    • Translation

    • Rotation

    • Scaling

    • Reflection

    Correct Answer
    A. Scaling
    Explanation
    Scaling is the transformation that involves multiplying all coefficients of a polynomial by a constant, effectively changing the magnitude of the polynomial.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which transformation does not change the degree of a polynomial?

    • Translation

    • Rotation

    • Scaling

    • Reflection

    Correct Answer
    A. Translation
    Explanation
    Translation is the transformation that does not change the degree of a polynomial. It involves shifting the entire polynomial horizontally without altering its degree.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What is the standard form of the polynomial: -2x^3 + 7x^2 - x + 3x^4?

    • 3x^4 - 2x^3 + 7x^2 - x

    • -2x^3 + 7x^2 - x + 3x^4

    • X^4 - x + 7x^2 - 2x^3

    • 3x^4 + 7x^2 - 2x^3 - x

    Correct Answer
    A. 3x^4 - 2x^3 + 7x^2 - x
    Explanation
    The standard form of a polynomial is when the terms are written in descending order of their exponents. In this case, the 1 term with the highest exponent is 3x^4, followed by -2x^3, 7x^2, and -x. Therefore, the standard form of the polynomial is 3x^4 - 2x^3 + 7x^2 - x.
