Response:
[tex] 2x^2 - 3x^3 - 8 - 5xy [/tex]



Answer :

Sure, let's solve the given expression step by step. The expression we have is:

[tex]\[ 2x^2 - 3x^3 - 8 - 5xy \][/tex]

First, let's identify and rearrange the terms in a standard polynomial order. Polynomials are typically written from the highest degree term to the lowest degree term. Here are the terms:

- [tex]\( -3x^3 \)[/tex]: This is the cubic term.
- [tex]\( 2x^2 \)[/tex]: This is the quadratic term.
- [tex]\( -5xy \)[/tex]: This is the mixed term involving both [tex]\( x \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y \)[/tex].
- [tex]\( -8 \)[/tex]: This is the constant term.

Now, let's write down the expression in this standard order:

[tex]\[ -3x^3 + 2x^2 - 5xy - 8 \][/tex]

So, the simplified and ordered form of the expression is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{-3x^3 + 2x^2 - 5xy - 8} \][/tex]

That's the step-by-step simplification and rearrangement of the given polynomial expression.
