Question 33540: Ok this is the instructions:
Find the degree of the polynomial.
Here is the problem:
Arrange the terms of y^4x+y^5x^3-x^2+yx^5 so that the powers of x are in ascending order.
How do i do this?
Thanks in advance!

+y%5E4x%2By%5E5x%5E3-x%5E2%2Byx%5E5+
Look at JUST the x values. the first has an understood value of 1
+y%5E4x%5E1%2By%5E5x%5E3-x%5E2%2Byx%5E5+
If in Ascending order .... put x^1 first, then x^2, then x^3 ...
If in decending order .... put x^1 last etc
Keep the + - with the number that they are in front of
+y%5E4x%5E1-x%5E2%2By%5E5x%5E3%2Byx%5E5+
