In the expression \(5x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x + 3\), what is the coefficient of the quadratic term?

Choices:
1.) -5
2.) -4
3.) 3
4.) 4

coefficient of the quadratic term clearly is -4 (ALTERNATIVE 2)

The coefficient of the quadratic term in the expression 5x^3-4x^2+2x+3 is -4.
In the expression 5x^3-4x^2+2x+3, the coefficient of the quadratic term is the number that stands before the x squared term. The quadratic term in this polynomial is -4x^2. Therefore, the coefficient of the quadratic term is -4.

The coefficient of the quadratic term in the expression 5 x 3 − 4 x 2 + 2 x + 3 is − 4 . This coefficient is simply the number that multiplies the x 2 term in the expression. Therefore, the answer is option 2: − 4 .
