Leading Coefficient
Leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree in a polynomial expression. For example, in the polynomial ( 3x2 – 5x + 2 ), the leading coefficient is ( 3 ) because it is attached to the term ( x2 ), which has the highest degree (2) among all the terms.
Coefficient of a Variable
The coefficient of a variable is a number that is multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression. It’s often a constant that represents the number of units of the variable.
Coefficient in Math is a number or alphabet or a symbol multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression, showing the variable’s impact on the expression. For example, in the expression 4xy, the coefficient in 4 which is multiplied by the variable xy.
In this article, we will understand the meaning of a coefficient, the properties of a coefficient, the types of coefficients, how to find a coefficient, and the difference between a coefficient and a constant.
