How many coefficients are in the expression 8c + 12 - 4d - 4.4 - 3d + c + 9d? 2 3 4 5

@iGreen

OpenStudy (neer2890):

coefficients are the numbers attached with variables.

OpenStudy (igreen):

What @neer2890 said. So can you figure out how many coefficients there are @Future_UsArmy_MP ?

OpenStudy (igreen):

@neer2890 I'm a little rusty but, does 'c' count as one? Because you can put a 1c right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well c isn't with a number

OpenStudy (neer2890):

ofcourse, c has a coefficient as 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (igreen):

1 can ALWAYS be behind a c, but this is a trick question. @Future_UsArmy_MP

OpenStudy (igreen):

Remember, 1 times whatever is always the same. So you can put a 1 before a variable. Thanks @neer2890

OpenStudy (neer2890):

you're welcome...:) @iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok i see, so how do you find the answer?

OpenStudy (igreen):

You count all the coefficients INCLUDING 'c'. SO how many are there @Future_UsArmy_MP ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, that's correct. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen please give a medal 2 @neer2890
