Question

write a thirdthird-degree polynomial expression that has only two terms with a leading term that has a coefficient of five and a constant of negative two ​

Answer 1

Answer:
`5x^3 - 2`

Step-by-step explanation:

The two terms are
`5x^3` and
`2`. Terms are separated by either a plus or minus.

We can write it as
`5x^3+(-2)` which is an equivalent form. Here the two terms are
`5x^3` and
`-2`. This is because adding a negative is the same as subtracting.

The coefficient is the number to the left of the variable.

The degree is the largest exponent, which helps form the leading term.

The third degree polynomial written above is considered a cubic binomial. "Cubic" refers to the third degree, while "binomial" means there are 2 terms.

We can write something like
`5x^3` as 5x^3 when it comes to computer settings.

Answer 2

5x^3-2

`ax^(3) +bx^(2) +cx+d\\5x^(3)-given\\ d=-2-given\\5x^(3) -2`
