Question

Pick the expression that matches this description:

A polynomial of the 5^th degree with a leading coefficient of 7 and a constant term of 6

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

There are so many 5th degree polynomials that have a leading coefficient of 7 and a constant term of 6.

In general, a 5th degree polynomial has the form:

`f(x)=ax^5+bx^4+cx^3+dx^2+ex+f`.

The question required that, the leading coefficient must be a=7 and the constant term must be f=6.

The remaining constants, b,c,d, and e could be any number.

All the following are correct;

`7x^5+6`

`7x^5-5x^4+6x+6`

`7x^5+x^2+2x+6`
