Question

Identify the constant in the cubic expression : x ^ 3 - 2x ^ 2 + 5x - 8 (1 point ) 2 5 8 - 8

Answer 1

In the cubic expression \( x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x - 8 \), the constant term is the term that does not contain any variable \( x \).

In this case, the constant term is \(-8\).

So, the answer is \(-8\).
