Question

Identify the constant in the cubic expression: 2x^3 − 8x^2 − 10x + 1.
A) 1
B) -8
C) 2
D) -10

Answer 1

The constant in the cubic expression \(2x^3 - 8x^2 - 10x + 1\) is the term that does not involve the variable \(x\).

In this case, the term that does not contain \(x\) is \(+1\).

So, the answer that identifies the constant is:

**A) 1**
