-$-7 x^{2}$
A) $-7 x^{2}+0 x^{0}$
$-7 x^{2}$
B) $-7 x^{2}+0 x+0 x^{0}$
$-7 x^{2}$
C) $-7 x^{2}+0 x$
$-7 x^{2}$
D) None missing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Writing the polynomial with its missing terms involves including the terms for all powers of $x$ that are not explicitly present, down to $x^0$, which is 1. Thus, the correct way to write $-7x^2$ with its missing terms is $-7x^2 + 0x + 0$, and leaving space for them simply means writing it as originally given, $-7x^2$.
