Consider this polynomial: 7kn+2k^2-2k-2n-5+5n^2
What is coefficient for k?
what is the constant term?
What is the degree of the polynomial?

Answer 1

coefficient for k: -2

constant term?: -5

degree of the polynomial: 2

Explanation:

The coefficient for k is the number that multiplies k. In this case:

7kn+2k^2-2k-2n-5+5n^2

The constant term is the number that doesn't multiply any variable. In this case:

7kn+2k^2-2k-2n-5+5n^2

The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's monomials. In this case, the highest monomials are:

7kn+2k^2-2k-2n-5+5n^2

all of them second degree
