Identify the coefficient and the exponent for each term of 8x^4-2x

Question

.

Answer 1

In the expression \( 8x^4 - 2x \), we can identify the coefficient and the exponent for each term as follows:

1. First term: \( 8x^4 \)

   • Coefficient: \( 8 \)
   • Exponent: \( 4 \)

2. Second term: \( -2x \)

   • Coefficient: \( -2 \)
   • Exponent: \( 1 \) (The exponent is 1 because \( x \) is the same as \( x^1 \).)

So for the expression \( 8x^4 - 2x \):

• The first term has a coefficient of \( 8 \) and an exponent of \( 4 \).
• The second term has a coefficient of \( -2 \) and an exponent of \( 1 \).
