Question

Choose the correct choice for the algebraic equation $7x^4+2xy{z}^2+3.$

• A. 3 is the numerical coefficient of $x^4$
• B. Coefficient of $y$ is 2.
• C. 3 is the constant term.

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3 is the constant term.

In an algebraic equation

• The term free of any unknown variables is termed as constant term.
• Coefficient of any unknown variable in a term of more than one unknown variable is called generalized coefficient.

In the given example,

• 3 is the constant term.
• In the term $2xy{z}^2$, two unknown variables are present $y$ and $z$. The coefficient of $y$ is $2x{z}^2$.
