Find the constant coefficient when the polynomial 3(x−4)+2(x2−x+7)−5(x−1) is simplified.
The constant coefficient is the number with x^0.
So, we just need to find those.
3(x-4) has the -12. (3*-4)
2(x^2-x+7) has a 14. (2*7)
-5(x-1) has a 5. (-5*-1)
Now, we just sum everything together. :))
-12+14+5 = 7
I hope this helped.
