Answer:
Option 2 - [tex]-4x^3y^2[/tex]
Option 5 - [tex]5x^4y[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find : Which terms could be used as the first term of the expression below to create a polynomial with a degree of 5 written in standard form?
Solution :
The polynomial with a degree of 5 means the polynomial of highest power must be 5.
Now, we check one by one,
1) [tex]2x^2y^2-3xy^3[/tex] - the highest degree is 4
2) [tex]-4x^3y^2[/tex] - the highest degree is 5
3) [tex]x^3[/tex] - the highest degree is 3
4) [tex]8.4x^4y^2[/tex] - the highest degree is 6
5) [tex]5x^4y[/tex] - the highest degree is 5
6) [tex]-xy^3[/tex] - the highest degree is 4
Therefore, In the above options- option 2 and 5 has the highest degree 5 which means they both have a polynomial with a degree of 5.
