Answer:
The coefficients are 2 and -3
The exponents are 5 and 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]2x^5 - 3x[/tex]
Required
The coefficient and exponent
First, identify the terms.
The terms are: [tex]2x^5[/tex] and [tex]- 3x[/tex]
The coefficient are the numbers written before the variables
The exponents are the power of the variables
So; for : [tex]2x^5[/tex]
[tex]Coefficient = 2[/tex]
[tex]Exponent = 5[/tex]
For [tex]- 3x[/tex]
[tex]Coefficient = -3[/tex]
[tex]Exponent = 1[/tex]
