Each power should appear only once (for example, only one term which contains x cubed); the powers should be in descending order.

It is in standard form if it is expressed so that it is in expanded form and the terms are in descending (or ascending) order of the powers of the terms.

Numbers written without exponents are in what form?

I would say they are in standard form, but I would be more likely just to ask you to write a simplified number without using exponents. The terminology can vary, but the following example shows the usual names: 1,023 is in standard form. One thousand twenty-three is in word form. 1000 + 20 + 3 is in expanded form.


What is the children function for the exponential function?

We usually say something like "y=ex is the parent function of y=3ex-2+10", so the answer to your question is probably " The child functions of y=ex have the form aebx+c+d."


How would you factor 8x2 - xy - 7y2 The 2 after the x and y are the squares. so its 8x squared - xy - 7y squared.?

You can factor this multivariate polynomial (a polynomial with several variables, here x and y), by looking at it as a univariate polynomial in either x or y. This would give you a simple second order equation of the form ax2+bx+c, which you can solve. This will give you 2 solutions, say x1 and x2, and can then factor your polynomial to a(x-x1)(x-x2). In our case: a=8, b=-y and c=-7y2 and the solutions for this equation are x1=y and x2=-7/8*y and this gives us 8x2 - xy -7y2 = 8(x-y)(x+7/8y) = (x-y)(8x+7y)


What is the standard form of x2 10x y 200?

Let's say you want the standard form of the equation x2 + 10x + y + 20 = 0. x2 + 10x + y + 20 = 0 (add 5 and subtract y to both sides) x2 + 10x + 25 = -y + 5 (form the square to the left, and factor out -1 to the right) (x + 5)2 = -(y - 5) which is in the standard form (x - h)2 = 4p(y - k), where (h, k) = (-5, 5) is the vertex, and 4p = -1 yields p = -1/4, so the parabola opens downward.
