Question

On a math test, Sarah has to identify all of the contifficients and constants of the expression

Answer 1

The coefficients in the expression are

1 and 7

The constant in the expression is 4

Sarah did not recognize the coefficient of n as 1

What are constants and coefficients

According to the problem, we have the expression

• 4 + n + 7m

A constant is a term in an algebraic expression that does not contain a variable. It is a fixed numerical value.

• In the problem, the term that fits this definition is 4

A coefficient is the numerical factor that multiplies a variable in an algebraic expression.

• In the problem, the terms that fits this definition are 1 and 7
