Question

If the simplified expression is written in standard form, what is the leading coefficient?


x√8x^3+x√2+4√2x

Answer 1

well the 1st term can be rewritten

\[x \sqrt{8x^3} = x \sqrt{4x^2 \times 2x}=x \times 2x \sqrt{2x} = 2x^2\sqrt{2x}\]

so its

\[2x^2\sqrt{2x} + 4\sqrt{2x} + x \sqrt{2} = (2x^2 + 4)\sqrt{2x} + x \sqrt{2}\]

Answer 2

short to say is tht 2 is the leading coefficient
