What is the constant term of the polynomial \(p(t)=4t^5-6t^2+t+15\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 15
The constant term is the term that does not contain the variable \(t\). In the given polynomial, \(4t^5\), \(-6t^2\), and \(t\) contain \(t\), whereas 15 does not; therefore, the constant term is 15. Exam tip: identify the term whose variable has exponent zero or is absent.
