What is a coefficient and what is a coefficient and what does it tell you?
A coefficient is a number (or a representation of a number such as x or y) that comes before a number, variable, or an expression. Typically used in algebraic notation, a coefficient is usually used to indication some sort of multiplication. For example: 6a The coefficient in this case is 6, and is is being used to indicate multiplying the term "a" by 6.
Can a coefficient of a exponent be negative?
Yes, -4x2 is a valid mathematical statement.
How can you tell if a equation has a coefficient is closest to 0?
To determine if a coefficient in an equation is closest to zero, you can compare the absolute values of the coefficients in the equation. Identify the coefficient with the smallest absolute value, as this will indicate the one closest to zero. You can also visualize the coefficients on a number line or use a numerical approach to calculate their distances from zero for clearer comparison.
Example of coefficient?

What is an example of coefficient?
2X 2 is the coefficient
