The coefficients are a (for the p^2 term) and -8 (for the p term).

The constant is -5.


In all quadratic equations, the coefficients are the numbers being multiplied by a variable term, such as p^2 or p. If there is no number, it is assumed to be 1.


Constants are the numbers at the end of the equation not multiplied by variables.
