???

Parth (parthkohli):

The leading term is the term with highest power i.e x^3. The constant is -2 here. It's not +2 obviously.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yea i get that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO THEN ITS B? because the leading term IS 3 AND its constand is -2

Parth (parthkohli):

So I find the 2nd one correct.

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does it mean to be a constant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just to make sure.

Parth (parthkohli):

Constant means no variable lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol sorry u know im mentally not there in math LOL

Parth (parthkohli):

4/3, 9969.32, 4939211132434343 are all constants.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay can u help with this one real quick ill tell you what i think

Parth (parthkohli):

All the numbers are constants.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know its 3rd degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the binomial and trinomial thing? i dont get

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes. How many different terms does it have?

Parth (parthkohli):

x^3 counts as one term.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OO WAIT SO ITS A? because theres only 3 with 3 exponents?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TRINOMIAL?

Parth (parthkohli):

It is a binomial. The two DIFFERENT UNLIKE terms are x^3 and 2009.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would it look like if it was trinomial?

Parth (parthkohli):

Maybe something like f(x) = 2x^3 - 6x^3 + 2x^2 + 2009

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OOO OK i get it :)
