Fan & medal!!! Please help. (Question below in the picture)

OpenStudy (leozap1):

OpenStudy (leozap1):

I know the one pointing to the ^3 is an exponent, I don't know the mathematical name for hte others.

OpenStudy (caominhim):

just so you know, after you turn in this assignment you will never again be asked this question, because nobody in the real world cares. But i also don't know the answer so i can't help, just ranting.

OpenStudy (leozap1):

Lol, ikr. I've had teachers tell me that 99% of the stuff you learn in school you will never use.

OpenStudy (caominhim):

actually maybe not everything on there is useless, the exponent is useful, and then it's good to know that any constant multiplied by a variable is a coefficient |dw:1426094455747:dw|

OpenStudy (caominhim):

*the constant is the coefficient

OpenStudy (leozap1):

5 is the coefficient right?

OpenStudy (caominhim):

oh maybe this does have use, and yes 5 is the coefficient, also if you plug in 0 for x, you will be left with the y intercept

OpenStudy (leozap1):

So is the +6x also a coefficient? And what about that -4?

OpenStudy (caominhim):

if you plug in 0 to the equation you are left with 0+0-4 = -4 and the point(0,-4) which is your y intercept +6x has a coefficient in it, but i think they're asking for what the whole thing is, which i don't know

OpenStudy (leozap1):

Its not asking me to solve it, but thanks for helping. I'll try to figure out the rest.

OpenStudy (caominhim):

the -4 is your y intercept, because if you plug in 0 you are left with -4, that's what i was trying to get at

OpenStudy (leozap1):

Oh so the answer to the -4 part is y intercept?

OpenStudy (caominhim):

yea

OpenStudy (leozap1):

Okay thanks, that just leaves me with one. :D
