Chapter 8, Problem 14SGR

To determine

To write the polynomial in standard form.

Answer to Problem 14SGR

  $3x^2+x+2$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Polynomial: $x+2+3x^2$

Concept used:

The standard form of a polynomial is the expression in which the terms are arranged from the highest degree to the lowest degree.

Consider the given expression,

  $x+2+3x^2$

Term	Degree of the term
$x$	1
$2$	constant
$3x^2$	2

Thus, arranging the terms in descending order (From the highest to the lowest), the standard form of a polynomial is obtained.

  $\Rightarrow 3x^2+x+2$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the standard form of the polynomial is $3x^2+x+2.$
