Question

Which of the following shows the polynomial in correct standard form and correctly identifies the lead coefficient and the constant term of

the following? 28-32 +7+47
A)2x+47; Lead Coefficient: 2; Constant Term: 47
B) 3+4+2x+7; Lead Coefficient: -3; Constant Term: 7
C) 3+4+2x+7; Lead Coefficient: 2; Constant Term: -3
D) 2−3−7−4; Lead Coefficient: 2; Constant Term: 7

Answer 1

Option B) 3+4+2x+7; Lead Coefficient: 2; Constant Term: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A) 2x+47 is not in standard form because the terms are not arranged in decreasing order of degree. The correct standard form is B) 2x+7.

The lead coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree, which is 2 in option B).

The constant term is the term without any variables, which is 7 in option B).
