Question 626505: Essay Form!
You MUST list the following for
the problem if you expect full credit:
List the TERMS;
Coefficients
and Degree
for the following Polynomial: 7x^5 -3x^3 +x+ 2/5
This is what I was able to do I only got 5 as the
exponent is 7x^5

The terms are those that are separated by + signs.

The coefficients are the numbers in front of the variable. Note: 2/5 = 2/5x^0

The degree is equal to the largest exponent.

So...

Terms: 7x^5, 3x^3, x, 2/5

Coefficients: 7, 3, 1, 2/5

Degree: 5
