General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Terms/CoefficientsStandard Form: Largest degree to smallest degreeLeading 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

Step 3: Identify LC

A. has a leading coefficient of 5

B. has a leading coefficient of 3

C. has a leading coefficient of -3 (our answer)

D. has a leading coefficient of 1

I’m pretty sure the answer is a

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
