Answer :
The missing first term of the expression could be a. 0 c. 9x^2y and e. 4xy^3
How to determine the missing term?
The missing information that completes the question are:
a. 0 b. 5xy^3 c. 9x^2y d. 8y^4 e. 4xy^3
The polynomial expression is given as:
-5xy² + 9x²y
A polynomial expression is represented as:
ax^ny^0 + b+x^n-1y+.......
The degree of a polynomial is the sum of exponents in each term
This means that the possible options must have exponents that add up to 4
Using the above representation, we have:
a. 0 c. 9x^2y e. 4xy^3
