$-6$ is the ______ in $q(y)=y^3-3y^2-6+y$

  1. constant term

  2. coefficient of $y$

  3. variable

  4. degree of the polynomial


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The constant term in an expression or equation has a fixed value and does not contain variables.
So, $-6$ is the constant term in $q(y)=y^3-3y^2-6+y$

  1. Spanish

  2. Egyptians

  3. Babylonian

  4. German


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Egyptians used the symbol heap for the unknown in algebra.

What is the value of the constant term in the expression, $23x^3+12x^2-6x-12$?

  1. $12$

  2. $6$

  3. $-6$

  4. $-12$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The constant term in an expression or equation has a fixed value and does not contain variables.
So, $-12$ is the constant term in the expression, $23x^3+12x^2-6x-12$.

How many degree of polynomials are there in constant term?

  1. one

  2. zero

  3. two

  4. three


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Constant term has zero degree of polynomial.
Because the constant term in an expression or equation has a fixed value and does not contain variables.
Example: $p(x)=k$
Where $k$ is a constant.

The constant term of $0.4x^{7} - 75y^{2} - 0.75$ is ___

  1. $0.4$

  2. $0.75$

  3. $-0.75$

  4. $-75$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given equation is $0.4x^{7}-75y^{2}-075$

A constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that is constant or cannot change, because it does not contain any modifiable variables.
Then constant term of equation $0.4x^{7}-75y^{2}-075$ is $- 0.75$

Which one is the constant term of $4x^{3} - 3x^{2} + 2x - 5$.

  1. $4$

  2. $-5$

  3. $2$

  4. $-3$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

General equation is $ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$ 

where d is constant term 

so in given equation, 

$4x^{3} - 3x^{2} + 2x - 5$

Constant term is $-5$.
