Question

what are the coefficients of the given polynomial expression including any like terms? put them in order starting with the coefficient of the term with the largest exponent.

2x^5-4x^4+4.5x^2-17x

anonymous · Answer

The coefficients are the numbers in front of the variables of each term.  So, for the term $2x^5$, the coefficient is $2$.  The exponents are the super-script numbers.  In the same term, the exponent is $5$.
