b) Terms: (4x), Coefficients: (4), Factors: (x, 1, -0.40), Constants: (0)
c) Terms: (4x), Coefficients: (4), Factors: (x, 1, -0.40), Constants: (-0.40)
d) Terms: (4x), Coefficients: (4), Factors: (x, 1, -0.40), Constants: (4)

Answer 1

The terms, coefficients, factors, and constants of the given expression are (2.40x), (2.40), (2.40, x), and (0) respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

(4x(1 - 0.40))

To simplify, we can multiply 4 and (1 - 0.40) first:

4 * (1 - 0.40) = 4 * 0.60 = 2.40

Then we have:

2.40x

The terms are (2.40x), the coefficient is 2.40, the factors are (2.40 and x) and the constant is 0.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

b) Terms: (2.40x)

Coefficients: (2.40)

Factors: (2.40, x)

Constants: (0)
