For which value of \(a\) will the polynomial \(P(x)=(a-3)x^5+2x^3-1\) be a cubic polynomial?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(a=3\)

A cubic polynomial must have highest power 3. Thus, the coefficient of \(x^5\) must be zero: \(a-3=0\), so \(a=3\). Then \(P(x)=2x^3-1\). Exam tip: ignore any term whose coefficient becomes zero.
