Question

Someone please help me:( :( I cant figure this out :(

For 3x2- 4x+ 1, match the following:

1. x Constant
2. 3 Algebraic expression
3. 1 Degree
4. 3x2-4x+ 1 Coefficient
5. 2 Variable

Answer 1

Please same the three terms.

Answer 2

What?

Answer 3

You have been given an algebraic expression. It contains three terms. What are the individual terms?

Answer 4

I don't really know i am failing math..

Answer 5

It's time to upgrade. Did you notice I gave you one of the answers in the previous post?

Answer 6

Yes but this a matching. Im not sure which one it matches to.

Answer 7

Is it number 4?

Answer 8

Algebraic Expression is #4. That is what we have been given. Move on.

Given a standard algebraic expression like the one we have, a term is any of those three things separated by + or - (including the sign that separates it in the front.)

Can you identify the THREE terms?

Answer 9

Just keeping score.

Algebraic Expression is #4

This leaves us with the easier matching problem.

1. x Constant
2. 3 Degree
3. 1 Coefficient
5. 2 Variable

Answer 10

1. x >> Degree
2. 3 >> Coefficient
3. 1 >> Variable
5. 2 >> Constant

Is that right?

Answer 11

No, you need to answer my question. Please identify the three terms in the given algebraic expression.

Answer 12

Okay, I'll give you Coefficient is 3. There is also a coefficient of -4, but that's not on the list.

Anything in a TERM that is not part of the variable is the coefficient.

Algebraic Expression is #4
Coefficient is #2

Now, it's easier...
1. x Constant
3. 1 Degree
5. 2 Variable

Answer 13

1. x >> Degree?

Answer 14

3x2- 4x+ 1, better written as\[3x^2- 4x+ 1\]

Answer 15

is a quadratic equation. Why? Because the highest power of x is 2. In other words, that's x squared.

Note how this quadratic equation features descending powers of x: \[x^2,x^1,x^0.\]

The constant numbers in front of each of these powers of x are called "coefficients."

Because the \[x^{2}\]

Answer 16

Seriously, you MUST be able to identify a "term". You WILL be required to know this on an exam.

Answer 17

Absolutely.

Your quadratic expression,
3x^2−4x+1
has three distinct parts. Count them. Each is separated from the others by a + or - sign. Each part is called a "term" of the expression. A quadratic expression such as this one has three terms (altho there are exceptions).

Enough force-feeding of facts. Please, LeeAnn, look over what TKHunny and I have shared with you and then ask some clarifying questions.
