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

Answer 1

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 \(5\).

Answer 2
