What is the coefficient of x2 in the expression 3x2 + 5x - 4?

  1. 3

  2. 4

  3. 5

  4. 7

The correct answer is: 3

In order to find the coefficient of x2, we must first understand what a coefficient is. In an expression with multiple terms, a coefficient is the numerical value that is multiplied by a variable. In this case, the variable is x2. Therefore, the coefficient of x2 in the given expression is the number that is being multiplied by x2, which is 3. The other options, 4, 5, and 7, are all coefficients for different variables and do not pertain to x2 in the given expression.
