Question

Which of the following algebraic expression is written in standard form?

• A. $4+x+xy$
• B. $x^2{y}^2+u^6$
• C. $x^2+x$
• D. $x^3+4+x^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $x^2+x$

We know that an angebraic expression is in standard form if degree of terms are in descending order.

So as we can see for the first option, degree of terms are 0, 1, 2 respectively, which are not in descending order.

In the second option, degree of terms are 4, 6 respectively, which are not in descending order.

In the third option, degree of terms are 2, 1 respectively, which are in descending order.

In the fourth option, degree of terms are 3, 0, 2 respectively, which are not in descending order.

Hence, option c is correct because degree of terms are in descending order.
