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).

What is the constant for 5x plus 9?

9 is the constant. 5 is the coefficient of the variable term. X is the variable term.


What does the word coefficient mean in math?

if there is something like 4x^2, then the 4 is the coefficient. It is the coefficient of the X. The squared part is the exponent. If something is just 2x, then the 2 is the exponent. It is the known number, the constant that is multiplied times the X.

What are the numbers represented by variables called?

The numbers that are represented by a variable is better known as a coefficient. Otherwise known as a constant. The constant always stays the same such as in a scientific problem in an experiment.


How do you solve compound inequalities?

For example, let's start off with: 9x + 3 > 3x + 2First, get rid of the smallest 6x + 3 > 2variable, 3x, by subtracting3x from 9x.Then, subtract 3 from both 6x > -1sides to isolate thevariable.Now divide each side by x > -1/66 to get x alone to solvethe inequality.Summary: Subtract one coefficient from another coefficient to get one coefficient on one side of the equation. Subtract one constant on one side of the equation from the other so that the coefficient is completely alone on its side of the equation. Finally, if their is a constant attached to the variable, which the pair is called a coefficient, divide whatever the constant of the variable is on both sides of the equation to get the variable alone to solve the equation.

What is the numerical coefficient and constant in 7-b?

In the expression (7 - b), the numerical coefficient is ( -1 ) (which is implied in front of (b)), and the constant is (7). The numerical coefficient represents the factor multiplying the variable, while the constant is the term without a variable.

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.
