Question

What is the coefficient of the term of degree 5 in the polynomial below? 3x6 + 5 - x2 + 4x5 - 9x A. 5 B. 4 C. 3 D. 6

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Polynomial is $3x^6+5-x^2+4x^5-9x$

To find: Coefficient of the term degree 5.

Degree of the term means Power of the variable of the term.

Degree of the polynomial means Height power of the variable of the polynomial.

Term including degree 5 = $4x^5$

So, Coefficient of the term = 4

therefore, Option B is correct.

Answer 2

4x^5 is a term of degree 5, and its coefficient is 4
