Question

What is the coefficient of the term of degree 1 in the polynomial?

5x^2+7x^10-4x^4+9x-2

Answer 1

Ok, do you know what a degree is?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

is it 10 @austinL

Answer 4

The degree is the value of the exponent.

Answer 5

so what does the question mean by term of degree one ? is it talking about the first term once you out it in descending order?

Answer 6

x^1 is degree one I believe. The coefficient is the number in front of it. ax^1

Answer 7

so the coefficent is x

Answer 8

No, x is x.... a is the coefficient.

Answer 9

i dont understand. i dont see exponent 1 in the equation

Answer 10

what is 1^1, or 2^1?
So what would x^1 be?

Answer 11

x^1 would be x

Answer 12

Correct. Sooooo knowing that, what would the coefficient be?

Answer 13

x

Answer 14

No, that is the variable. The coefficient is the number accompanying it.

Answer 15

so for example if it was 7x^3 the degree would be 9 and the coefficent would be 7 ? right

Answer 16

Why would the degree be 9??

Answer 17

i ment to put 3 sorry

Answer 18

Correct.

Answer 19

ok so in( 5x^2+7x^10-4x^4+9x-2 ) the coeeficent of the term degree 1 would it be 9? or 2

Answer 20

9

Answer 21

ok i understand .

Answer 22

Good!
