Question

What is the coefficient of the term of degree 5 in the polynomial below?
3x +5 - +4x3 - 9x

Answer 1

D. 4

Step-by-step explanation

The given polynomial is

`3 {x}^(6) + 5 - {x}^(2) + 4 {x}^(5)- 9x`

The term in degree 5 in this polynomial is

`4 {x}^(5)`

The coefficient of this term is the constant that is multiplying the variable raised to exponent 5.

This number is 4.

Therefore the coefficient of term in degree 5 is 4

The correct answer is D.
