Question

What is coefficient ? Write the coefficient of x2 in (2x-5) (2x2 - 3x + 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

A coefficient is a constant by which a variable is multiplied

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x-5)(2x²-3x+1)

(4x³-6x²+2x)-(10x²-15x+5)

4x³-6x²+2x-10x²+15x-5

4x³-16x²+17x-5

so coefficient of x² is -16
