Identify the constant for each expression.
4𝓍𝓎
My answer: 4 or no constant?
-𝓃 + 8
My answer: +8 or just 8.
A constant in an expression is a number that does NOT have a variable
associated with it, so
-care to rethink your first answer?
for the 2nd:
8 is just fine, it implies that the number is positive
1. No constant
Okay, thank you.
Remember earlier question
4 here is a coefficient.
To identify the constant for each expression, you need to understand that a constant is a term in an algebraic expression that does not contain any variables.
For the expression 4𝓍𝓎, the constant is 4. This is because it does not contain any variables, and therefore it remains the same regardless of the values of 𝓍 and 𝓎. So the constant for this expression is indeed 4.
For the expression -𝓃 + 8, you correctly identified that the constant is +8 or simply 8. In this expression, -𝓃 is the term containing the variable 𝓃, while +8 is the term that does not have any variables. Therefore, +8 or 8 represents the constant in this expression.
It's important to note that constants can be positive or negative values and they can also be integers, fractions, or decimals, as long as they do not involve any variables.
