Question

Which statement is true about the given expression? 3 ⁢ x 2 − 11 ⁢ ( 2 ⁢ y + 1 ) + 4 A. The "4" in the third term is a factor. B. The "11" in the second term is a constant. C. The "3" in the first term is an exponent. D. The "2" in the second term is a coefficient.

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation:

It's not A because the 4 is a constant, not a factor.

It's not B because the 11 is not constant because its a negative, therefore being subtracted.

It's not C because 3 is not an exponent, it is simply a term.

The answer is D because 2 is a coefficient, because it is a number infront of a variable.
