Question

What is the difference between a constant and a coefficient?

Answer 1

Determine the difference between a constant and a coefficient.

The constant is a number without any variable in an expression and the constant has a fixed value.

A coefficient is a number along with a variable in an expression.

For example:

Take $3x^2+5$ be an expression.

Here, $3$ is the coefficient of variable $x^2$ and $5$ is the constant of the given expression.
