Name the numerical coefficient, the variable and the constant term of each of these algebraic expressions.
1.3x + 2
2.5n
3.w + 3
4.2p + 4
The variable is the symbol (not a number). In the first problem that is x.
The coefficient is the number in front of the variable. In problem 1 that is 3. The constant is the number by itself with no variable. In problem 1 that is 2.
In problem 2, the variable is n, the coefficient is 5 and the constant is zero.
The others are done the same way.
Sure! Let's break down each algebraic expression.
1. For the expression 1.3x + 2:
- Numerical coefficient: 1.3
- Variable: x
- Constant term: 2
2. For the expression 2.5n:
- Numerical coefficient: 2.5
- Variable: n
- There is no constant term as there is only a variable term.
3. For the expression w + 3:
- Numerical coefficient: 1 (implied)
- Variable: w
- Constant term: 3
4. For the expression 2p + 4:
- Numerical coefficient: 2
- Variable: p
- Constant term: 4
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
To identify the numerical coefficient, variable, and constant term in the given algebraic expressions, we need to understand the different parts of the expression.
1. 1.3x + 2
- Numerical coefficient: 1.3 (the number multiplied by the variable)
- Variable: x (the letter that represents an unknown or general number)
- Constant term: 2 (the number without a variable)
2. 2.5n
- Numerical coefficient: 2.5
- Variable: n
- Constant term: None (since there is no constant term)
3. w + 3
- Numerical coefficient: 1 (implied, since there is no coefficient explicitly written)
- Variable: w
- Constant term: 3
4. 2p + 4
- Numerical coefficient: 2
- Variable: p
- Constant term: 4
Remember, the numerical coefficient is the number multiplied by the variable, the variable represents an unknown or general number, and the constant term is the number without a variable.
