Question

What key feature does the constant of a polynomial represent?

Answer 1

The constant of a polynomial represents a feature that has no dependency Hence the name constant.

Explanation:

The constant term in a simplified algebraic expression or equation which contains no variable(s) attached to it.

If there is no such term, the constant term is 0.

Let us use as an example the following expressions

2x + 5y - 3=0-----------1

4d +6h=0----------------2

So in the first equation the constant term is - 3

While in the second equation the constant term is 0, since there is no constant available
