Hello!

The answer is: 9

Why?

To find the sum of the coefficients of the polynomial we have, we need to evaluate
x=1

So,


3(1)^4+5(1)^2+1=9

The sum of the coefficientes of the expression is 9

Have a nice day!

Answer:

The sum of coefficients = 9

Explanation:

The given expression is,

3x⁴ + 5x² + x

There are three terms in the given expression. All the terms contains variable x.

To find the coefficients of each terms

term coefficients

3x⁴ 3

5x² 5

x 1

To find the sum of coefficients

sum = 3 + 5 + 1 = 9

Therefore the sum of coefficients = 9
