What are the coefficient in the polynomial 5x2+2x-4?
5,2
-5,-2
5,2,-4
5,-2,-4
5 x^2 so 5 is coef of x^2
2 x so 2 is coef of x
the -4 is a constant, not a coefficient.
So it's A???
^thats me
To find the coefficients in a polynomial, we look for the numerical values in front of the variables or powers of the variables in the polynomial expression.
In the polynomial expression 5x^2 + 2x - 4, we have three terms:
1. The term 5x^2 has a coefficient of 5.
2. The term 2x has a coefficient of 2.
3. The constant term -4 also has a coefficient of -4.
Therefore, the coefficients in the polynomial 5x^2 + 2x - 4 are 5, 2, and -4.
So, the correct answer is option: 5, 2, -4.
