Question

Identify the coefficient and the exponent for each term of 2x^5– 3x. The coefficients are 5 and 1. The exponents are 2 and - 3. The coefficients are 2 and 3. The exponents are 5 and 0. O The coefficients are 2 and - 3. The exponents are 5 and 0. The coefficients are 2 and - 3. The exponents are 5 and 1.​

Answer 1

The coefficients are 2 and -3

The exponents are 5 and 1

Explanation:

Given

`2x^5 - 3x`

Required

The coefficient and exponent

First, identify the terms.

The terms are:
`2x^5` and
`- 3x`

The coefficient are the numbers written before the variables

The exponents are the power of the variables

So; for :
`2x^5`

`Coefficient = 2`

`Exponent = 5`

For
`- 3x`

`Coefficient = -3`

`Exponent = 1`
