we have that
x^6+3-2x^2+4x^7-4x

we know that 
the term of degree 2 in the polynomial is -2x² 
and the coefficient of the term of degree 2 is (-2)

Answer:

a. [tex]-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is

[tex]x^6+3-2x^2+4x^7-4x[/tex]

We rewrite the polynomial in standard form to obtain;

[tex]4x^7+x^6-2x^2-4x+3[/tex]

The term of degree 2 in the polynomial is [tex]-2x^2[/tex].

The coefficient of this term is the constant that is multiplying [tex]x^2[/tex] which is [tex]-2[/tex]
