\n" ); document.write( "Answer: -w^12 + 4w^11\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Reasoning:
\n" ); document.write( "We list the term with the largest exponent first, then next largest, and so on.
\n" ); document.write( "We count down the exponents.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite 4w^11-w^12 as 4w^11 + (-w^12)
\n" ); document.write( "Then use the rule A+B = B+A to swap the terms being added.
\n" ); document.write( "We arrive at -w^12 + 4w^11
\n" ); document.write( "The leading term is -w^12
\n" ); document.write( "The leading coefficient is -1.
\n" ); document.write( "The degree of this polynomial is 12, aka the largest exponent.
\n" ); document.write( "We consider this a 12th degree binomial since we have 2 terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another example of standard form is: 5x^4+7x^3+x^2
\n" ); document.write( "The exponents here count down: 4,3,2
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
