Question

write the degree of "-2x-x^3." Name the polynomial on the basis of degree. Also write the coefficient of x

Answer 1

3rd degree binomial

-2x has a coefficient of -2

-x³ has a coefficient of -1

Explanation:

-2x - x³ is typically written in decreasing exponent order:

-x³ - 2x ⇒ this is a third degree binomial because of the value of the greatest exponent

there are two 'x' terms:

-2x and -x³

the coefficient of -2x is the integer which precedes the 'x', which is -2

the coefficient of -x³ is -1
