Question

What is the coefficient in the expression shown? 42+2c

Answer 1

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).
coefficient for the linear term: 2 (i.e. 2x^1=2x)

Answer 2

The coefficient in the given expression is, 2

Explanation:

Coefficient states that it is a multiplicative factor in some terms of a polynomial, series, or expression.

Given the expression: 42 + 2c

Here, c represents the variable.

To find the coefficient in the expression.

42 is the constant term.

2 is the coefficient of the variable c in the given expression.

Therefore, the coefficient in the given expression is, 2
