Question

Numerical factor in a term of a polynomial is called?

• A. It's numerical coefficients
• B. coefficient of it's remaining part
• C. It's literal coefficient

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

coefficient of it's remaining part

Term in an algebraic expression can be represented as:

• Numerical factor in a term of a polynomial is called its numerical coefficient or coefficient.
• Numerical factor in a term of a polynomial is called the coefficient of its remaining part.
• Literal coefficients are the variables associated with a term.

For example, in the above image $x^y$ is the literal coefficient and $16$ is the numerical coefficient.

Therefore, option (a.) and (b.) are the correct answers.
