The 2nd term when [tex]3+2x^2-3x^4+x^3[/tex] is arranged in descending order is:
[tex]x^3[/tex]
To arrange the term in descending order means we have to arrange them from highest to lowest degree terms.
We are given a polynomial expression as:
[tex]3+2x^2-3x^4+x^3[/tex]
Now on arranging it in descending order we get the terms as:
[tex]=-3x^4+x^3+2x^2+3[/tex]
Hence, the terms are as follows:
First term: [tex]-3x^4[/tex]
Second term: [tex]x^3[/tex]
Third term: [tex]2x^2[/tex]
Fourth term: [tex]3[/tex]
Hence, the answer is:
[tex]x^3[/tex]
