In science, as in real life sometimes several 'factors' effect the outcome of an experiment. In order to make the problem easier to study one or more of these is 'held constant' or not allowed to change in order to see the effect of the other variables.
EX. Gas volume can be effected by both pressure and temperature. In order to understand the effect of pressure, Boyle kept the temperature constant. He then changed the pressure to see what happened to the volume of a gas. This gave him what is now called Boyle's Law: The volume of a gas varies inversely as the pressure when the temperature is held constant.

What the constant factor of a term of polynomial?
coefficient
Where p is a factor of the leading coefficient of the polynomial and q is a factor of the constant term.?
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.
What is the ratio of 2 corresponding linear measurements in a pair of similar figures?
The constant of proportionality or scale factor.
What is decay factor?
The constant factor that each value in an exponential decay pattern is multiplied by the next value. The decay factor is the base in an exponential decay equation. for example, in the equation A= 64(0.5^n), where A is he area of a ballot and the n is the number of cuts, the decay factor is 0.5.
What is the factor expression of 2x 8?
2(x + 4) or 2(x - 4) depending on the missing operational sign.
Which factor is not held constant in a demand schedule?
the taste of consumers
What type of variable is a factor held constant to test the relative impact of the independent variable?
independent variables :):):):):):):):):):):):)
When was The Constant Factor created?
The Constant Factor was created in 1980-05.
What is the duration of The Constant Factor?
The duration of The Constant Factor is 1.53 hours.
Is the derivative of u with respect to v constant when t is held constant?
No, the derivative of u with respect to v is not constant when t is held constant.
The volume of a gas is reduced from 4 L to 0.5 L while the temperature is held constant. What does the pressure of the gas do?
increases by a factor of eight
The volume of a gas is reduced from 4 L to O5 L while the temperature is held constant The pressure of the gas?
increases by a factor of eight
In boyle's law which is held constant?
In case of BOYLE'S law,temperature is held constant! thank you!!
If you want to predict how temperature will affect the volume of a gas what other factor must be held constant?
pressure
When quantity demand is changing what variables are held constant?
non price determinants of demand are held constant
What is the factor you keep the same?
This factor is called the constant.
What is the common constant factor 128?
The question cannot be answered since "common constant factor" is not a recognised expression.
