In a linear equation given as y = mx + c, the c represents a constant. This is because the x- and y- variables don't directly influence it, and it remains exactly what it is - constant - no matter what.The m is the coefficient - the value which provides scale. It also remains constant, but it is coupled to the variable of this equation, x.
In the quadratic equation y = ax2+ bx + c, the 'c' here is a constant, and both 'a' and 'b' are coefficients.Both 'a' and 'b' are attached to the variable x, so both are considered coefficients. This rule holds true for all orders of polynomials.
(Important note: The letter 'c' is not always used to represent the constant value in an equation, so watch out - so long as it isn't influenced by the variable of the equation, it's the constant.)

What is the difference between factors and coefficient?
The difference between factors and coefficient is very distinct. A factor is a quantity which is multiplied with another to give a particular number as the result. A coefficient on the other hand is a multiplier that measures property.
What the constant factor of a term of polynomial?
coefficient
Is pi a coefficient?
Yes--in that it is a constant that typically precedes a variable.
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.
Relationship between coefficient lift and coefficient drag?
For cylinders coefficient of lift is approximately half of coefficient of drag while they are equal for Aerofoils.
What is a constant coefficient?
In a ploynomial or differential equation or really any formula or equation with variables in it, the coefficients are the terms "in front of" the variable or multiplied the variables. Each variable generally has its own coefficient. If a coefficient is constant (ie just a number) then it is a constant coefficient. eg Consider the polynomial , 3x2+9yx+6 in terms of x. It has one constant coefficient (3), one variable coefficient (9y) and one constant (6).
Difference between modified constant pressure and constant volume?

Difference between returns to scale and constant return to scale?
differentiate between returns to scale and constant return to scale
What does a coefficient represent?
It depends on the equation and the coefficient. Coefficients can be constant (Boltzmann constant, Avogadro's number) but they can also be variable (Reynolds number). The coefficient of gravity, g, is 9.81 m/s^2 in metric units on Earth.
What is difference between variable and constant?
Whether or not you can change its value.
What is the Relationship and differences between culture and civilization?
The difference is that culture is constant while civilization changes The difference is that culture is constant while civilization changes
What are terms coefficients and constants?
The numerical multiplier of any term in an algebraic expression is a coefficient. The constant term is a coefficient which does not have a variable associated with it.
What is the difference between GNP at current price and GNP at constant price?
it is the same
What can you say about the correlation coefficient and the correlation description when the points lie exactly on vertical or horizontal line?
Let me rephrase: Case 1: You have x and y variables, but the values for x is a constant (vertical line) Case 1: You have x and y variables, but the values for y is a constant (horizontal line) Result is that you have zero covariance, so a correlation coefficient can not be calculated because that would cause a division by zero. If one of your x value (Case 1) or y value (case 2) is not exactly the same as the others, then a correlation coefficient can be calculated, but does it mean anything? The correlation coefficient indicates a linear relationship between two random variables, not between a constant and a random variable.
What is difference between coefficient of lift of 2 exactly the same airfoils one made of Wood and another made of Steel?
The weight.
Is one one fourth one seventh one tenth a arithemtic sequence?
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers where the difference is constant. The difference between 1 and 1/4 is 3/4. The difference between 1/4 and 1/7 is 3/28. The difference between 1/7 and 1/10 is 3/70. These differences are not constant.
Relationship between coefficient lift and coefficient drag?
For cylinders coefficient of lift is approximately half of coefficient of drag while they are equal for Aerofoils.
