What is the 3rd term when −2h4 + 5h2 − 3 − 2h − 8h3 is arranged in descending order?

The third term is .

Explanation:

The given expression is,

It is a polynomial function and the standard form of the polynomial function is,

Where are constant. The terms are arranged according to the degree of x. It means the highest degree comes first.

Similarly,

Now the terms are arranged in descending order. The third term is .

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
