Question

For the polynomial below what is the power of the term with the coefficient of 6?

Answer 1

The coefficient of a term is the constant that comes before the variable. The term with a coefficient of 6 is 6x. The power of that term is 1 because the x in 6x is raised to the first power.

Answer 2

Correct option is:

C. 1

Explanation:

The power of any term in the polynomial is the power of x.

Here, we are given a polynomial:

`x^3+(1)/(3)x^4+6x+5`

We have to find the power of the term with the coefficient of 6

The term with the coefficient of 6 is 6x

Power of that term is 1

(Since, power of x is 1)

Hence, Correct option is:

C. 1
