Here is the solution to the problem.
Given expression: 4m3−7m5+3−90m7−4m
a)
Step 1: Identify the terms and their powers of m.
The terms are:
• 4m3 (power 3)
• −7m5 (power 5)
• 3 (power 0, as 3=3m0)
• −90m7 (power 7)
• −4m (power 1)
Step 2: Arrange the terms in descending order of their powers of m.
The order of powers from highest to lowest is 7,5,3,1,0.
So, the expression becomes:
−90m7−7m5+4m3−4m+3
b)
Step 1: Count the number of terms in the expression.
The terms are 4m3, −7m5, 3, −90m7, and −4m.
There are 5 distinct terms.
The number of terms is:
5
c)
Step 1: Identify the highest power of the variable m in the expression.
The powers of m are 3,5,0,7,1.
The highest power is 7.
The degree of the expression is:
7
d)
Step 1: Locate the term containing m5.
The term is −7m5.
Step 2: Identify the numerical factor multiplying m5.
The coefficient of m5 is:
−7
e)
A constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that does not change, as it does not contain any variables.
In the given expression, the term without any variable m is 3.
The constant term is:
3
f)
Step 1: Substitute m=−1 into the expression 4m3−7m5+3−90m7−4m.
4(−1)3−7(−1)5+3−90(−1)7−4(−1)
Step 2: Evaluate the powers of −1.
(−1)3=−1
(−1)5=−1
(−1)7=−1
Step 3: Substitute these values back into the expression.
4(−1)−7(−1)+3−90(−1)−4(−1)
Step 4: Perform the multiplications.
−4+7+3+90+4
Step 5: Add the terms.
−4+7=3
3+3=6
6+90=96
96+4=100
The value of the expression when m=−1 is:
100
