The constants of a polynomial is the term that has no variable attached to it.
<h3>The constant term</h3>To determine the constant, we simply multiply the constant term in each factor of the polynomial.
So, we have:
<h3 /><h3>Polynomial P(x) = (x-2)(x-4)(x-5)</h3>Hence, the constant is -40
<h3>Polynomial P(x) = (x-2)(x-4)(x+5)</h3>Hence, the constant is 40
<h3>Polynomial P(x) =1/2(x-2)(x-4)(x+5)</h3>Hence, the constant is 20
<h3>Polynomial P(x) = 5(x-2)(x-4)(x+5)</h3>Hence, the constant is 200
<u>P(x) =-5(x-2)(x-4)(x+5)</u>
Hence, the constant is -200
