Answer:The coefficients are the numbers that multiply the variables or letters. Thus in 5x + y - 7, 5 is a coefficient. It is the coefficient in the term 5x. Also the term y can be thought of as 1y so 1 is also a coefficient.A number used to multiply a variable. Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient. Variables with no number have a coefficient of 1. ... Example: In ax2 + bx + c, "x" is a variable, and "a" and "b" are coefficients.First of all, coefficent means the number standing in front of a variable.
So, according to the expression, 2 - 5x - 4 + 8, the coefficient is -5.
Why? because it stands in front of the variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 meters because 8/4 is 2
Answer:
-1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = rise / run
= (1 - -7) / (-1 -3)
= 8/-4
= -1/2.
Move constant to other side
add 1
4c^2-8c=1
divide by 4 to make leading coeficient 1
c^2-2c=1/4
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square it
-2/2=-1, (-1)^2=1
add that to both sides
c^2-2c+1=1/4+1
factor perfect squaer and add
(c-1)^2=5/4
square root both sides
c-1=+/-(√5)/2
add 1
c=1+/-(√5)/2
c=2.12 or -0.12
