Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a polynomial:
[tex]18x + 2x^3 - 3x^2 + 10[/tex]
We have to arrange it in descending order and then identify its third term
Polynomial in descending order is:
[tex]2x^3-3x^2+18x+10[/tex]
As we can clearly see the third term is:
18x
Hence,
Polynomial in descending order is:
[tex]2x^3-3x^2+18x+10[/tex]
and the third term is:
18x
