Question

State whether true or false​

$16$ is a constant and $y$ is a variable but $16y$ is variable.

• A. False
• B. True

Answer 1

The correct option is B True

A term is called a constant term if it does not contain any literal (Variable)
Thus $16$ is a constant
A term is called a variable term if it does contain any literals
Thus $y$ is a variable
Also , a combination of a constant term and the variable term is a variable term if the constant term is non-zero
Thus $16y$ is a variable
Hence the given statement is true
