What is a coefficient?

The number in front of the variable

200

In a polynomial, every term is separated by a ______ or/a ________ sign.

Plus and Minus

300

Some polynomials are named according to the number of terms. What is the name of polynomials with one term, two term, and three terms

Grade A Student

100

Determine Kelsey's error and correct it:

4x² + 5x² = 9x⁴

Kelsey incorrectly added the exponents. The correction should be:

4x² + 5x² = 9x²

200

Determine Enrique's mistake and correct it: 

4x³ + 5x³ + x²= 20x³ + x²

Enrique multiplied the coefficients instead of adding them. It should be:

4x³ + 5x³ + x²= 9x³ + x²

300

Determine Jose's error and correct it:

4x - (3x -2) = 4x - 3x -2 = x-2

Jose forgot to distribute the negative to the -2. It should be: 

4x - (3x -2) = 4x - 3x +2 = x +2 

400

Determine Irene's mistake and correct it:

2x(x-4) = 3x²-6x

Irene is adding the coefficients inserted of multiplying them. It should be:

2x(x-4) = 2x²-8x

500

Determine Rocio's mistake and correct it:

(x+3)² = x² + 9

Rocio squared each term instead of squaring the whole polynomial. It should be: 

(x+3)² = (x+3)(x+3) = x²+3x+3x+ 9 = x² +6x +9
