Question

What is the coefficient in the expression shown?

42 + 2c

2
42
c
2c

Answer 1

The coefficient is 2

Answer 2

Explanation:

There are two coefficients, one for x raised to the first degree, and the other for x raised to the zeroth degree (i.e. constant term). Thus: coefficient for the constant term : 42 (i.e. 42x^0=42).
