General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Standard Form: Largest degree to smallest degree
  • Leading Coefficient: Constant multiplied to largest degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

A. 2xy - 3 + 5xy²

B. 3x³ - 3x - 3

C. 4x² - 3x⁴ + x

D. x⁵y - 3x²y - xy

Step 2: Rewrite

Rewrite each trinomials into standard form.

A. 5xy² + 2xy - 3

B. 3x³ - 3x - 3

C. -3x⁴ + 4x² + x

D. x⁵y - 3x²y - xy
