What is the 1st term when 1 + 6x^2 + 5x^4 + 3x^3 is arranged in descending order

Hello there! :)

What you need to do here is to put everything in order from greatest to least!

How do you do that?

Hint: Look at the exponents! The higher the exponent, the greater it is! The lower it is, the lower it is.

Example:

x^3 > x^2

ALWAYS look at the exponent BEFORE anything else! If they have the same exponent, look at the number that goes before the variable (letter)!

Example:

2x^2 > x^2

Note: If a variable has no number in front of it, the "number" would be 1!

Example:

x = 1x

x^2 = 1x^2

Remember: A value with a variable is greater than a constant! A constant is a number without a variable.

Example:

x > 1

Hope this helped! :)
