Notice that the sign belongs to the term. \n" ); document.write( "Coefficients: These are the numbers in front of the variables. They are: -3, 9, -4, and 2 (the last number, -4, is a constant and not a coefficient) \n" ); document.write( "Degree of the term: This is the power or exponent of the variable in each term. \n" ); document.write( "These are: 4, 3, 2, and 1. \n" ); document.write( "The degree of the polynomial is the the highest power of any of the terms. Here, it's 4 from the term -3x^4. \n" ); document.write( " |
