29
2y + x + 29
Analyze the 3 terms of the polynomial 2y + x + 29
Term 1 is 2y
Our coefficient/constant is 2
Our variable piece is y
No exponent exists for this term
Term 2 is x
Since there is no coefficient
our coefficient is 1
Our variable piece is x
No exponent exists for this term
Term 3 is 29
Our coefficient/constant is 29
This term has no variable, so it is a constant
No exponent exists for this term
