Question

For 3x2- 4x+ 1, match the following:

x Degree
3 Variable
1 Algebraic expression
3x2-4x+ 1 Coefficient
. 2 Constant

Answer 1

2 = degree
x = variable
expression = 3x^2-4x+1
coefficients = 3 and -4
constant = 1

Answer 2

For this case we have the following definitions:

• Algebraic expression: It is one that contains terms of different degrees with their respective coefficients.
• Degree of the polynomial: is the largest exponent of the polynomial.
• Variabe: is the independent term of the polynomial
• Coefficient: They are the constant numerical values that accompany the variables of the polynomial.
• Constant: It is a term of the polynomial that does not accompany the variable.

Answer:

x ----------------> Variable

3 ----------------> Coefficient

1 ----------------> Constant

`3x ^ 2-4x + 1` -----------> Algebraic expression

2 ----------------> Degree
