What is the coefficient in the expression shown? 42+c2

The coefficient is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient can be the constant that is multiplying with the variable. And the variable is c. So therefore, the coefficient is 2.

Hoped this helped.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "coefficient" is understood in this question to refer to the constant that is a factor of the variable term.

c² is understood to be 1·c², so the coefficient of that term is 1.

"Coefficient" can also be used to describe a constant term in a polynomial expression. One could say the coefficients in the given expression are 1 and 42.

Additional comment

Ordinarily, an exponent is written in plain text with a preceding caret (^). That is c² would usually be written as c^2. Since c^2 in your question is written as c2, we cannot tell if your 42 is intended to be 4^2 = 16 instead of 42 = 40+2. In the above, we have assumed it is 40+2, rather than 4².

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.
