This is all in one question:


The number of terms in the expression 3x−1 is __


The constant in the expression −2x+1 is __


The coefficient in the expression −x7+3 is __


The factors of the first term in the expression 2x5−8 are __

and __


The second term in the expression 3x−34 is __

Verified Answer :

  1. 3x - 1....there are 2 terms...(3x) and (1)
    2. the constant....a number that stands by itself, with no variable attached.
        -2x + 1...constant is 1
    3. coefficient....a number that is multiplied by a variable (a letter)
        having trouble understanding this problem...is it -x^7 + 3 ? if so, the coefficient is -1. If it is -7x + 3, the coefficient is -7
    4. factors of 2x^5 - 8 ...there are 3 factors, 2, x^5, and -8
    5. not sure what ur asking.
