Answer:
False. It's not in the descending order for variable x.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given polynomial is,
-15x⁵y + 13x²y⁴ - x⁸
'x' is a variable in the given polynomial.
Order or degree of term x⁸ = 8
Order of term -15x⁵y = 5
Order of term 13x²y⁴ = 2
Descending order for the variable x will be,
8 > 5 > 2
So the descending order for the variable 'x' will be,
-x⁸ - 15x⁴y + 13x²y⁴
Therefore, Option (1) False is the correct option.
