Which polynomial correctly combines the like terms and puts the given polynomial in standard form? x + 8x4 – x2 – x a. 8x4 – x2 – x b. 8x4 + x2 + x c. 8x4 – x2 – x d. 8x4 – x2 – x

  none of the above

  should be: 8x^4 -x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem statement given here, when like terms are combined, the x terms cancel. None of the answer choices shows that.

  x + 8x^4 – x^2 – x

  = 8x^4 -x^2 +(x -x)

  = 8x^4 -x^2
