Answer 2

Answer:

-√3 is the coefficient of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial p(x) has three terms:

5 is coefficient of x²

Coefficient: A constant quantity or variables that is being multiplied with a variable in an algebraic expression.

Numerical coefficient: a constant or numerical quantity that is being multiplied with the variable in an algebraic expression.

Examples:

In 5x²y

• 5y is the coefficient of x²
• 5x² is the coefficient of y
• 5 is the numeric coefficient of x²
• 5 is the numeric coefficient of y

Note that: usually coefficient of a variable refers to the numerical coefficient.
