Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The polynomial $\mathrm { x } ^ { 5 } - 10 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 }$ has two terms. The first term, $\mathrm { x } ^ { 5 }$, has a degree of 5 and a coefficient of 1 (implied, as there's no number in front of the $x$). The second term, $-10 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 }$, has a degree of 2 and a coefficient of $-10$.
