Terms, Coefficient, Variable & Constants of Polynomials Let’s do some examples Example 1 Example 2 TERM COEFFICIENT (Number Part) VARIABLES (Letters) FACTORS (Everything Multiplied) -4 Coefficient includes the sign. 7ac 7 a, c 7, a, c -11 -11 (None) -11 A constant term has no variable part.Example 3 Polynomials are built from added parts called terms. TERM COEFFICIENT (Number Part) VARIABLES (Letters) FACTORS (Everything Multiplied) 9 m, n, p 9, m, m, n, n, p A single term can have multiple different variables. -6 m, n -6, m, n 1 p 1, p, p, p When no number is shown, the coefficient is an implied 1. -1 q -1, q Similarly, a negative variable has an implied coefficient of -1 .
