Question

Which pair of terms contain opposite coefficients?
Answers:


3 and –3 //
–3x and 3x //
3x and 3x //
–3 and –3

Answer 1

A coefficient is the numeric or constant part of the term, so -3 or 3 are the coefficient.
A term is defined as the product of a coefficient and a variable raised to a power. Since the power could include zero, so a constant (like 3 and -3) is still a term.
Accordingly, there are two answers that are valid, A and B.

If there is only one correct answer, then probably the narrow definition of a "term" has been used, namely B.
