Question

what is the coefficient of the second 8 + n² + 4m

Explanation:

Step1: Identify terms in the expression

The expression is \(8 + n^2 + 4m\). The terms are \(8\) (constant term), \(n^2\), and \(4m\).

Step2: Determine the second term and its coefficient

The second term (when ordered by variable terms, ignoring the constant first) is \(n^2\). For a term of the form \(ax^b\), the coefficient \(a\) here, for \(n^2\) (which is \(1\times n^2\)), the coefficient is \(1\). Wait, but maybe the order is left - to - right: first term \(8\), second term \(n^2\), third term \(4m\). So the second term is \(n^2\), and the coefficient of \(n^2\) is \(1\) (since \(n^2=1\times n^2\)).

Answer:

\(1\)
