The expression represents a
polynomial with
terms. The constant term is
, the leading term is
, and the leading coefficient is
.
The given expression is 7x^3 - 61 + x^2.
- It represents a polynomial with 3 terms.
- The constant term is -61.
- The leading term is 7x^3.
- The leading coefficient is 7.
To simplify the expression, let's start by combining like terms.
First, let's combine the terms with x^2. We have:
7x^2 + x^2 = 8x^2
Next, let's combine the terms with x. We have:
-61x + x = -60x
Finally, let's combine the constant terms. We have:
3 - 61 = -58
Putting it all together, the simplified expression is:
8x^2 - 60x - 58
To simplify the expression, we need to combine like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable and exponent.
In the given expression, we have two terms: 7x and x^2.
First, let's combine the terms with the variable x. We add the coefficients of the terms:
7x + x^2
Next, let's check if the exponents of x are the same. If they are not, then we cannot combine these terms any further.
In this case, the exponents of x are different (x^1 and x^2), so we cannot combine these terms.
Hence, the simplified form of the expression is 7x + x^2.
