What is constant Term?
What is Coefficient?
What is Like Terms?
Answers
Answer:
The coefficients = are the numbers that multiply the variables or letters. Thus in 5x + y - 7, 5 is a coefficient. It is the coefficient in the term 5x. Also the term y can be thought of as 1y so 1 is also a coefficient.
Like terms= are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. In 5x + y - 7 the terms are 5x, y and -7 which all have different variables (or no variables) so there are no like terms. Constants = are terms without variables so -7 is a constant.
Answer:
In mathematics, a constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that is constant or cannot change, because it does not contain any modifiable variables. For example, in the quadratic polynomial. the 3 is a constant term.
a number which is placed before another quantity and which multiplies it, for example 3 in the quantity 3x
In algebra, like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. The coefficients do not need to match. Unlike terms are two or more terms that are not like terms, i.e. they do not have the same variables or powers. The order of the variables does not matter unless there is a power
