Chapter 4.6, Problem 1OE

To determine

To find: The decreasing degree in the variable $x$ for expression $5+2x^2-3x$ .

Answer to Problem 1OE

The decreasing degree in the variable $x$ for expression $5+2x^2-3x$ is $2x^2-3x+5$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The expression is $5+2x^2-3x$ .

Calculation:

The decreasing degree in the variable $x$ for expression $5+2x^2-3x$ is calculated as follows:

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Degree of }5=0\\ \text{Degree of }2x^2=2\\ \text{Degree of }-3x=1\end{array}$

Arrange in the decreasing degree as follows:

  $2x^2-3x+5$

Thus, the decreasing degree in the variable $x$ for expression $5+2x^2-3x$ is $2x^2-3x+5$ .
