Identifying Coefficients and Constants

The video tutorial explains how to identify coefficients in an exponential expression. It begins by defining a coefficient as the number or constant part of a term that is multiplied by the rest of the term. The tutorial then examines different numbers in an expression, identifying which are coefficients and which are constants. The number 3 is identified as a coefficient because it multiplies the rest of the term, while 1.01 is not a coefficient as it does not multiply the variable. The number 4 is a constant as it stands alone without a variable.

What is a coefficient in an algebraic expression?

• A variable that is added to a term

• A variable that divides the term

• A number that is subtracted from a term

• A number that multiplies the rest of the term

Which of the following numbers is a constant in the given expression?

• None of the above

• Four

• Three

• 1.01

Why is the number four considered a constant in the expression?

• It is being multiplied by a variable

• It stands alone without any multiplication

• It is an exponent

• It is part of a larger term

Which number is identified as a coefficient in the expression?

• Three

• None of the above

• 1.01

• Four

Why is 1.01 not considered a coefficient in this context?

• It is not part of the expression

• It is an exponent

• It is a constant

• It is not multiplying a variable

What role does the number three play in the expression?

• It is a constant

• It is a divisor

• It is a coefficient

• It is an exponent

In the context of the expression, what is the significance of identifying coefficients?

• To find the constant

• To understand the multiplication factor of terms

• To determine the variable

• To identify the exponent
