Which of the following is the standard form of a polynomial?
- $y = aX^n + bX^{n-1} - cX^{n-2}$
- $y = aX^n - bX^{n-1} - cX^{n-2}$
- $y = aX^n - bX^{n-1} + cX^{n-2}$
- $y = aX^n + bX^{n-1} + cX^{n-2}$ (correct)
What is the factored form of a polynomial?
What is the factored form of a polynomial?
- $y = a(X + r_1)(X - r_2)(X + r_3)...$
- $y = a(X + r_1)(X + r_2)(X + r_3)...$
- $y = a(X - r_1)(X + r_2)(X - r_3)...$
- $y = a(X - r_1)(X - r_2)(X - r_3)...$ (correct)
