Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of the first term is 9 and its degree is 8. The coefficient of the second term is 10 and its degree is 1. Option C correctly identifies these coefficients and degrees. Option A and D are incorrect because they do not identify the degree of the first term correctly as 8. Option B is incorrect because it includes a third term with coefficient 1, which is not present in the polynomial.
