WHAT DOES COEFFICIENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Coefficient

In mathematics, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series or any expression; it is usually a number, but in any case does not involve any variables of the expression. For instance in the first two terms respectively have the coefficients 7 and −3. The third term 1.5 is a constant. The final term does not have any explicitly written coefficient, but is considered to have coefficient 1, since multiplying by that factor would not change the term. Often coefficients are numbers as in this example, although they could be parameters of the problem, as a, b, and c, where "c" is a constant, in when it is understood that these are not considered as variables. Thus a polynomial in one variable x can be written as for some integer, where are coefficients; to allow this kind of expression in all cases one must allow introducing terms with 0 as coefficient. For the largest with , is called the leading coefficient of the polynomial. So for example the leading coefficient of the polynomial is 4.

Definition of coefficient in the English dictionary

The first definition of coefficient in the dictionary is a numerical or constant factor in an algebraic term. Other definition of coefficient is the product of all the factors of a term excluding one or more specified variables. Coefficient is also a value that relates one physical quantity to another.
