An exponent is a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression.
A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression.

What does the word coefficient mean in math?
if there is something like 4x^2, then the 4 is the coefficient. It is the coefficient of the X. The squared part is the exponent. If something is just 2x, then the 2 is the exponent. It is the known number, the constant that is multiplied times the X.
Choose the expression that has 5 as an exponent n as a base and 7 as a coefficient?
7n^5
The numerical coefficient of the monomial -4x3 is 3 is it true or false?
if the monomial is -4x3, then the coefficient is the number in front, so it is -4, thus false. 3 is the exponent, or degree.
What is meant by 3p to the power of 3?
3 times (p * p * p) 3p3 3 = coefficient p = base 3 = exponent
What does E after a number mean mathematically?
Sometimes, like with most calculators, superscript like this is not possible, so the exponents of the powers of ten (the numbers above) are displayed as 2E4 and 1.45E3. The E stands for Exponent. It's just another way of displaying numbers in scientific notation. In scientific notation, numbers are written like this, 20000 is written as 2 x 104 = 2 E4 The 2 is called the coefficient, and the 4 is called the power or the exponent (of ten). 1450 is written as 1.45 x 103 = 1.45 E3 The 1.45 is the coefficient, and the 3 is called the power or the exponent (of ten). All numbers are written as a coefficient between 1 and 10, multiplied by 10 raised to the power of the exponent.
What is are the exponent and coefficient of the expression -5b?
The exponent is 1, the coefficient is -5.
How do you do derivatives?
Take the exponent and multiply it by the coefficient (or 1 if there is no coefficient) then subract 1 from the exponent. For example, the derivative of 2x^3 is 6x^2 If there is no exponent, for example, 2x the derivative is 2 because the exponent is actually 1 which produces the same coefficient and the exponent 0 meaning there is no x.
What is the coefficient in?
The coefficient in algebra is the number before a letter with an exponent on it. The 3 is the coefficient in this example: 3x7
What is the coefficient and the exponent of the square root of 3b?
The coefficient is the number placed before a variable, or variables. As for the exponent: taking the square root of a number is the same as raising it to the power 1/2, so you can consider the exponent to be 1/2. Edit: So coefficient is ./3 and exponent is 1/2
What is the coefficient in algebra?
The coefficient in algebra is the number before a letter with an exponent on it. The 3 is the coefficient in this example: 3x7
What is a number written with a base and not an exponent?
coefficient?
How diffusion coefficient depends on temperature?
The diffusion coefficient depends on temperature in direct negative exponent.
If the coefficient of the expression ax is in fraction and the exponent is positive the expression will be a polynomial?
Not necessarily. If the exponent is not an integer then it is not a polynomial.
What does the word coefficient mean in math?
if there is something like 4x^2, then the 4 is the coefficient. It is the coefficient of the X. The squared part is the exponent. If something is just 2x, then the 2 is the exponent. It is the known number, the constant that is multiplied times the X.
Can a coefficient of a exponent be negative?
Yes, a coefficient of an exponent can be negative. Negative coefficients indicate the opposite direction or opposite effect of positive coefficients in mathematical expressions.
What is the base exponent and value of -5x3?
Coefficient -5. Base: x. exponent: 3. Value: depends on the value of x. or Base: (-5)1/3x, exponent: 3
If the coefficient of the expression axn is negative and the exponent is positive will the expression be a polynomial?
true
