The constant term in an equation tells you how much is added, subtracted, and how much a number is multiplied or divided. A perfect example of this is Direct Variation equations. if y=kx, k=-3, and x=1, 2, 3, 4, than y=-3, -6, -9, and -12.

Both terms in the binomial have positive exponents of x and so it is not possible for there to be a constant term in its expansion. If the second term is a negative power then it is not possible to tell whether it should be (a/x^2) or 1/(ax^2) which will yield different answers.
