Could you please rephrase your question? I don't quite understand what you're asking.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the examples of literal and numerical coefficient and constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean: In the equation \(2x^2+3x+1\), we have: The coefficient of \(x^2\) is 2. The coefficient of \(x\) is 3. The constant is 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ty

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i do not know what you mean by the word literal

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i guess the literal co-efficient is \(x\) in traxter's equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think he means maybe when we have coefficients which are letters instead of numbers, so: In the equation \(ax^2+bx+c\), we have: The coefficient of (x^2) is a. The coefficient of x is b. The constant is c.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so letters are literal coefficients/constants

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeh I guess so, it isn't all that clear from the question though.
