You're welcome.
A coefficient is a numerical or constant factor that is multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression or equation. It represents the relative value or magnitude of that variable.
To find the coefficient in an expression or equation, you need to identify the terms involving the variable, and then determine the number or constant that is being multiplied with the variable.
For example, in the expression 3x^2 + 5x - 10, the coefficient of the term "3x^2" is 3, the coefficient of "5x" is 5, and the constant term "-10" can be considered as the coefficient of "x^0" (since any variable raised to the power of zero is equal to 1).
In an equation, the coefficient refers to the numerical factor of a variable. Let's say we have the equation 2x + 4 = 10, the coefficient of "x" is 2, as it is multiplied by the variable.
Identifying the coefficients helps in simplifying expressions, solving equations, and understanding the relationship between variables.
