Exercise 1 Page 384

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of the variable.

Standard Form: - 8q^3
Classification: Cubic monomial

Practice makes perfect

To write the given polynomial in standard form, recall that the standard form of a polynomial arranges the terms by degree in descending numerical order.

- 8q^3 Since the given polynomial consists of only one term, this is its standard form. We also want to classify this polynomial by degree, leading coefficient, and the number of terms. -8 q^3 The highest exponent, and therefore the degree of the polynomial, is 3 and the leading coefficient of the polynomial is equal to -8. This polynomial consists of only one term, so it is a monomial. Therefore, it is a cubic monomial.
