In the expression: 4x²-2x+1 (2 points)

How many terms are there?
What is the leading coefficient of the first term?

1 answer

In the expression \( 4x^2 - 2x + 1 \):

  1. The number of terms is 3: \( 4x^2 \), \( -2x \), and \( 1 \) are the three individual terms.
  2. The leading coefficient of the first term (\( 4x^2 \)) is 4.
