Which polynomial is in standard form?

A. [tex]\(1 + 2x - 8x^2 + 6x^3\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\(2x^2 + 6x^3 - 9x + 12\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\(6x^3 + 5x - 3x^2 + 2\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(2x^3 + 4x^2 - 7x + 5\)[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which polynomial is in standard form, we need to check if each polynomial is written in descending order of the powers of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]. A polynomial is in standard form when the terms are ordered from the highest degree term to the lowest degree term.

Let's analyze each given polynomial:

1. [tex]\( 1 + 2x - 8x^2 + 6x^3 \)[/tex]

Rearrange in descending order based on the powers of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 6x^3 - 8x^2 + 2x + 1 \][/tex]

2. [tex]\( 2x^2 + 6x^3 - 9x + 12 \)[/tex]

Rearrange in descending order based on the powers of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 6x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x + 12 \][/tex]

3. [tex]\( 6x^3 + 5x - 3x^2 + 2 \)[/tex]

Rearrange in descending order based on the powers of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 6x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 2 \][/tex]

4. [tex]\( 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 7x + 5 \)[/tex]

Rearrange in descending order based on the powers of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 7x + 5 \][/tex]

Now, let's check each polynomial to see if it is already in standard form:

1. [tex]\( 1 + 2x - 8x^2 + 6x^3 \)[/tex]
- Rearranged form: [tex]\( 6x^3 - 8x^2 + 2x + 1 \)[/tex]
- This polynomial is not in standard form initially.

2. [tex]\( 2x^2 + 6x^3 - 9x + 12 \)[/tex]
- Rearranged form: [tex]\( 6x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x + 12 \)[/tex]
- This polynomial is not in standard form initially.

3. [tex]\( 6x^3 + 5x - 3x^2 + 2 \)[/tex]
- Rearranged form: [tex]\( 6x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 2 \)[/tex]
- This polynomial is in standard form.

4. [tex]\( 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 7x + 5 \)[/tex]
- Rearranged form: [tex]\( 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 7x + 5 \)[/tex]
- This polynomial is in standard form.

Since we need to identify the polynomial from those initially provided, the given indices need to match your analysis. Based on the analysis, none of the given polynomials are in standard form unless rearranged. If we start with checking their initial configuration towards the given answer pattern, it appears none naturally align to that requirement.

So, the result is:
```None```
