The coefficients are the numbers that sit in front of the variable term.


Coefficient of x^5: 1 (since x^5 = 1x^5)

Coefficient of x^4: -3 (-3 is the number in front of the x^4 term)

Coefficient of x^3: 0 (there is no x^3, so we denote it as 0x^3)

Coefficient of x^2: 3.5 (assuming you made a typo and meant to say 3.5x^2)

Coefficient of x^1 or x: -16

Coefficient of x^0 or constant term: 0
