Q. Consider the expression21x2+x+7. Complete 2 descriptions of the parts of the expression.1. The entire expression is a sum with □.2. The coefficients are □.
Identify Structure: Identify the structure of the expression.The expression 21x2+x+7 is a polynomial in standard form. It is composed of terms that are added together.
Describe Expression: Describe the entire expression.The entire expression is a sum of three terms: a quadratic term, a linear term, and a constant term.
Identify Coefficients: Identify the coefficients of the expression.The coefficients are the numerical factors that multiply the variable terms. In the quadratic term (1/2)x2, the coefficient is 1/2. In the linear term x, the coefficient is 1 (since any number multiplied by 1 is itself). The constant term is 7, which does not multiply a variable, so it is not considered a coefficient in the same sense.
