For each word write the word under the column which best describes its connotation

Sure.  Look at this expression . . . 13Q

The  13  is the coefficient of  ' Q '.

The  ' Q '  is the coefficient of  13 .

' Q ' is the literal coefficient of the expression.  (It's a letter.)

' 13 ' is the numerical coefficient of the expression.  (It's a number.)



This is only for monomials ... a single term of a polynomial.
Coefficients are only multiplied together.

3A + 4B

' 3 ' is only the coefficient of 'A', not of 'B'.

' B ' is only the coefficient of '4', not of '3' .



6 K L

' 6 ' has two literal coefficients.

'K' has one literal coefficient and one numerical coefficient.

'L' does too.



That's about it.  It's not math.  It's just math words.
