Question

What are the coefficients of the following polynomial:
3x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + 1

A) 3, 2,-5,1
B) 3,2,-5
C) 2,-5,1
D) 3,2,1

Answer 1

(2b^2 + b - 3) + (2b^2 - b - 3) =

Answer 2

Is this correct?

Answer 3

The coefficients of a polynomial are the numbers multiplying each term. In this case, the coefficients are 3, 2, -5, and 1.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A) 3, 2, -5, 1

Answer 4

To simplify the expression, we can combine like terms. In this case, the like terms are the terms with the same variable and exponent.

First, let's combine the terms with b^2:

2b^2 + 2b^2 = 4b^2

Next, let's combine the terms with b:

b - b = 0

Finally, let's combine the constant terms:

-3 - 3 = -6

Combining all the terms gives us:

4b^2 + 0 - 6

Simplifying further, we find:

4b^2 - 6
