Match the correct item with its definition for the following algebraic expression:
3x 2 + 16
16 coefficient
2 variable
3 exponent
x constant (number term)
x variable
16 is a constant
2 is an exponent (assuming you mean 3 x^2
3 is a coefficient of x^2
x is a variable
You are correct! Thank you for the correction.
In the algebraic expression 3x^2 + 16:
3 coefficient - This is the numerical factor in front of the variable term. In this case, it is the number 3.
x variable - This is the symbol (in this case, "x") that represents an unknown value, which can vary.
2 exponent - This is the number that indicates the power to which the variable is raised. In this case, the variable "x" is raised to the power of 2.
16 constant (number term) - This is a term that stands alone and does not contain a variable. In this case, the number 16 is a constant term.
