Hello and Welcome to OpenStudy! :)

may I ask, what is the polynomial that they gave?

Answer 2

oh my bad I forgot to put that in there. 7x^2-4x+6. i'm sorry :c

Answer 3

It's alright :)

now, the coefficients are the numbers that are attached to the variables

for example, in 2x^3 + 5x + 7
only 2 and 5 are considered coefficients
