Question

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

x^3+1/3x^4+6x+5
A.4
B.2
C.1
D.3

Answer 1

the term 6x has the coefficient 6 and the variable 'x' is raised to the first power.

So answer is 1

Answer 2

(C) 1

Explanation:

The given polynomial is:

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

We have to find the power of the term with the coefficient of 6, here the term whose coefficient is 6 is
`6x`.

Thus, x is the variable in the given term of the polynomial given and the power of the variable is one, therefore 1 is the power of the term with the coefficient of 6.

Thus, option (C) is correct.
