Question

How is a coefficient different than a constant... please give me an example as well thank you.. I’m giving max points

Answer 1

Answer:

A coefficient is a number that is in front of a variable. A number that is multiplied by a variable in a variable expression; in an expression such as 3ab, the numerical coefficient of ab is 3. The word constant means unchanging. Since a number’s value never changes, a number with no variable factors is a constant. A constant is a numerical term in an expression. a term that has no variables

Example: 5a+4  The coefficient is 5 and the constant is 4 because it does not have a variable in front of it.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

A coefficient is the number in front of the letter, and a constant is just a number.
