Sign In
Terms are separated by +
or -
signs. Coefficients are numbers that are multiplied by variables. Constants are numbers with no variable factors.
Terms: q3, 6 and 9q
Coefficients: 13 and 9
Constants: 6

-signs. With this information in mind, let's identify the terms in the given expression. q/3 + 6 + 9q
We can see that the expression has three terms, q3, 6, and 9q. Next, we will identify the coefficients and constants. A coefficient is a number that is multiplied by a variable or variables. Variables on their own, without a number next to them, actually have a coefficient of 1. A constant is a number with no variable factors. q/3+6+9q ⇕ 1/3q+ 6+ 9q The expression has two coefficients, which are 13, 9, and a constant, which is 6. Let's organize this information in a table.
| Terms | Coefficients | Constants |
|---|---|---|
| q/3, 6, and 9q | 1/3 and 9 | 6 |
