Standard Form For a Polynomial

A polynomial is said to in standard form when the term are arranged in descending order of their degree with zero as the coefficient of the missing term.

For Example:

large -3x^2+14x+2

large 9y^3-2y^2+16y+2

Illustration: Express the polynomial in standard form

3x^5+4x^4+2x^3-6x^2

Solution: We know that in standard form the term are arranged in descending order of their degree with zero as the coefficient of the missing term. In the expression the terms with exponent 1 and the constant term are missing so we will write those terms with 0 as their coefficient. Hence

large 3x^5+4x^4+2x^3-6x^2+0x+0
