If the coefficient of the expression ax is in fraction and the exponent is positive the expression will be a polynomial?

Not necessarily. If the exponent is not an integer then it is not a polynomial.

What is an exponent and a coefficient?

An exponent is a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression. A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression. In the expression 4x^2 (four x squared) the four is the coefficient and the 2 is the exponent.


If the coefficient of the expression axn is a fraction and the exponent is positive will the expression be a polynomial?

Not necessarily. Every exponent in the exponent must be a non-negative integer. This is not what you have specified. For example, if n = 3.5, it is not a term in a polynomial expression.

Which Expression represents the product of a number 5 and b?

The product of '5' and 'b' is '5b' Product is another word for multiplication. '5b' means '5' multiplied to 'b' NB The multiplication sign is never shown in algebra. NNB The number/coefficient always comes before the letter.


What is the rational expression of the quotient 4a plus b and 2a - 5b?

The expression is: (4a+b)/(2a-5b)


How do you do derivatives?

Take the exponent and multiply it by the coefficient (or 1 if there is no coefficient) then subract 1 from the exponent. For example, the derivative of 2x^3 is 6x^2 If there is no exponent, for example, 2x the derivative is 2 because the exponent is actually 1 which produces the same coefficient and the exponent 0 meaning there is no x.
