Question

In the expression: 4x^2−2x+1

Answer 1

How many terms are there?

Answer 2

What is the leading coefficient of the first term?

Answer 3

The expression \(4x^2 - 2x + 1\) is a quadratic polynomial in the variable \(x\).

If you would like, I can help with various aspects of this expression, such as:

1. Finding its roots using the quadratic formula.
2. Factoring it (if possible).
3. Completing the square.
4. Analyzing its graph (vertex, direction, etc.).
5. Evaluating the expression for specific values of \(x\).

Please let me know what specific information you need!

Answer 4

The expression \(4x^2 - 2x + 1\) consists of three terms:

1. \(4x^2\) (the quadratic term)
2. \(-2x\) (the linear term)
3. \(1\) (the constant term)

So, there are a total of **three terms** in the expression.

Answer 5

In the expression \(4x^2 - 2x + 1\), the first term is \(4x^2\). The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the highest degree term in a polynomial.

Here, the leading coefficient is **4**.
