polynomial help? will medal and fan

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

how many coefficents can there be in a polynomial written in standard form?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Do you know what a coefficient is? And do you know what the standard form of a Polynomial is?

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

yes

OpenStudy (igreen):

Standard form of a polynomial is: \(ax^2 + bx = c\) So how many coefficients are there? @jessicawade

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

1

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

i

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

its 2 right?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep! 2 is correct!

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

so the most number of coefficents a polynominal can have in standard form is 2?

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(ax^2 + bx = c\) It has 2 coefficients(a and b) 2 variables(x and x) 1 constant(c)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep! @jessicawade

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

cool thanks!
