The coefficients of the expression 7x^4-9x^3+2x^2 are: a.4, 3, 2 b.4, -3, 2 c. 7, 9, 2 d. 7, -9, 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you have \(5x^2\), 5 is the coefficient.

help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And in \(-6x^5\) it would be -6 (don't forget the negative sign).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It works the same way in the equation you gave.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it a, b, c, d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to have some idea of how to solve this, just giving you the answer without understanding isn't going to help you in the long run.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first term of your expression is \(7x^4\), given what I just said, what do you think the coefficient is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c is close, but you forgot about the negative sign on -9.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah.
