Anywhere. Provided it is not zero, and number p can be the leading coefficient of a polynomial. And any number q can be the constant term.

Start by looking for a common factor. Separate this factor, then factor the remaining polynomial.
factor 4y - 32
Mathematics: a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression (e.g., 4 in 4x y). Physics: a multiplier or factor that measures some property : coefficients of elasticity | the drag coefficient.
TRue
coefficient
If a polynomial function, written in descending order, has integer coefficients, then any rational zero must be of the form ± p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.
the numerical factor in a term of polynomial
By itself there is none. A coefficient is the multiplying factor in a polynomial equation.
Yes.
Yes, the greatest common factor is less than or equal to the smallest coefficient. For example, the greatest common factor of 38 and 8 is 2.
This is known as a coefficient.

find a greatest common factor or GCFin factoring a trinomial with a leading coefficient other than 1 the first step is to look for a COMMON factor in each term
y=3x is a direct variation in that y varies directly with x by a factor of 3. Any linear equation (a polynomial of degree 1, which is a polynomial equation with a highest exponent of 1), is a direct variation of y to x by some constant, and this constant is simply the coefficient of the "x" term. Other examples: y=(1/2)x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is 1/2 y=-9x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is -9
