Answer the questions about the following polynomial.
7, x, to the power 4 , plus, 1
7x^4+1
The expression represents a blank polynomial with
terms. The constant term is
, the leading term is
, and the leading coefficient is
.
The expression represents a fourth-degree polynomial with 2 terms. The constant term is 1, the leading term is 7x^4, and the leading coefficient is 7.
The expression represents a 4th degree polynomial with 2 terms. The constant term is 1, the leading term is 7x^4, and the leading coefficient is 7.
The expression 7x^4+1 represents a polynomial.
To find the number of terms in the polynomial, we count the individual terms. In this case, there are two terms: 7x^4 and 1.
The constant term in a polynomial is the term that doesn't contain any variable(s) with a non-zero exponent. In this case, the constant term is 1.
The leading term in a polynomial is the term with the highest degree (i.e., the largest exponent). In this case, the leading term is 7x^4.
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term. In this case, the leading coefficient is 7.
