Express the polynomial x2 − x4 + 2x2 in standard form and then classify it.

-x⁴ + 3x² is the standard form, and this is a quartic binomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

We look to see if there are any like terms first. x² and 2x² are like terms; they combine to make 3x². So this polynomial really only has two terms when simplified.

The standard form of a polynomial has all of its terms in decreasing order of degree.

  -x⁴ ⇒ degree 4

  3x² ⇒ degree 2

Therefore, standard form is

  -x⁴ + 3x²

The degree of this polynomial is the degree of the highest degree term, which is 4. A degree 4 polynomial is called a quartic polynomial.There are two terms, so we can further classify this as a binomial.

Therefore, the answer is quartic binomial

the final function for the graph becomes x-2=-1. before graphing you solve the equation, where x=1. then graph accordingly.   ( on the x-axis, 1 on the line will possess a vertical line.)
