Question 4
Write the coefficient of x2 in each of the following:

(i) π6x+x21

(ii) 3x5

(iii) (x1)(3x4)

(iv) (2x5)(2x23x+1)

Open in App
Solution

(i) The coefficient of x2 in π6x+x21 is 1.

(ii) The coefficient of x2 in 3x- 5 is 0.

(iii) Let p(x)=(x1)(3x4)=3x24x3x+4=3x27x+4

Hence, the coefficient of x2 in p(x) is 3.

(iv) Let p(x)=(2x5)(2x23x+1)=2x(2x23x+1)5(2x23x+1)=4x36x2+2x10x2+15x5=4x316x2+17x5
Hence, the coefficient of x2 in p(x) is -16.
