What is descend in math?

Answer 1

Descend means to go down. It most often seen when arranging a polynomial in descending powers (from highest power to lowest power).

For example, 3x - 4x2 +5 + x3 should be rewritten as x3 - 4x2 +3x +5.

Answer 2

In mathematics, "descend" is not a commonly used term. However, if you are referring to "descending order," it typically means arranging numbers or objects from highest to lowest value or rank. It is the opposite of ascending order, which arranges elements from lowest to highest.
