2 Answers: Choice B and Choice D

==========================================================

Explanation:

Standard form will always have the largest exponents listed first on the left side. Then as you move to the right, the exponents will decrease. Choice B shows this with the exponents counting down (3,2). Choice D is a similar story with the exponents counting down (9,2,1,0). Think of -6x as -6x^1, and also think of the 10 as 10x^0.

Something like choice A is a non-answer because the term with the largest exponent 3 is buried in the middle, and not at the left side. The exponents are not in decreasing order. Choice C can be ruled out for similar reasons.

Side note: the largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial. This only applies to single variable polynomials.

The answer should be B
