Question

Write the polynomial in standard form (1,2,3).

Answer 1

Polynomial standard form for (1  ,2 , 3) is x² + 2x + 3

Given:

• Polynomial in coefficient form (1,2,3).

To Find:

• Polynomial in standard form

Solution:

coefficient form is  (aₙ ,  aₙ₋₁ ,..., a₁ , a₀)  for the polynomial in standard form

aₙxⁿ + aₙ₋₁xⁿ⁻¹ +...+ a₁x + a₀

Step 1:

Note that coefficient form here is (1 , 2 , 3)

hence n = 2  as there are 3 terms

a₂ = 1

a₁ = 2

a₀ = 3

Step 2:

Substituting n = 2   in aₙxⁿ + aₙ₋₁xⁿ⁻¹ +...+ a₁x + a₀

= a₂x² + a₁x¹ +a₀

Step 3:

Substituting a₂ = 1 ,  a₁ = 2 , a₀ = 3 and simplify

= 1x² +2x¹ +3

= x² + 2x + 3

Polynomial standard form for (1  ,2 , 3) is x² + 2x + 3
