What is the coefficient of the term of degree 2 in the polynomial below? x^6+3-2x^2+4x^7-4x a. -2 b. 3 c. -4 d. 4

a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is

We rewrite the polynomial in standard form to obtain;

The term of degree 2 in the polynomial is .

The coefficient of this term is the constant that is multiplying which is

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)
