Which represents the polynomial written in standard form?

A. \( 8x^2y^2 - 3x^3y + 4x^4 - 7xy^3 \)

B. \( 4x^4 - 3x^3y + 8x^2y^2 - 7xy^3 \)

C. \( 4x^4 - 7xy^3 - 3x^3y + 8x^2y^2 \)

D. \( 4x^4 + 8x^2y^2 - 3x^3y - 7xy^3 \)

E. [tex]\( -7xy^3 - 3x^3y + 8x^2y^2 + 4x^4 \)[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which polynomial is written in standard form, we need to recall that a polynomial in standard form is arranged in descending order of the degrees of the terms.

Given the polynomial \(8x^2y^2-3x^3y+4x^4-7xy^3\), we need to rearrange the terms in descending order based on the total degree of each term.

1. The term \(4x^4\) has the degree of 4 (since the exponent of \(x\) is 4).
2. The term \(-3x^3y\) has the degree of 4 (since the sum of the exponents \(3+1=4\)).
3. The term \(8x^2y^2\) also has the degree of 4 (since the sum of the exponents \(2+2=4\)).
4. The term \(-7xy^3\) has the degree of 4 (since the sum of the exponents \(1+3=4\)).

Next, we list these terms in descending order:

1. \(4x^4\)
2. \(-3x^3y\)
3. \(8x^2y^2\)
4. \(-7xy^3\)

Thus, the polynomial in standard form is: \(4x^4 - 3x^3y + 8x^2y^2 - 7xy^3\).

Therefore, the polynomial written in standard form is:
