Answer:

C. -3, 6, -9, -1

Explanation:

A coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable.

Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient.

Variables with no number have a coefficient of 1.

Example: -x is really -1x.

For this case we have the following expression:


-3x ^ 5 + 6x ^ 2-9x ^ 3-x

When writing down, that is, from highest to lowest we have:


-3x ^ 5-9x ^ 3 + 6x ^ 2-x

It is known as a coefficient to the term that accompanies the variable, so the answer is:


-3, -9,6, -1

Answer:

Option D
