Terms are the variable expressions $\"1\"$ , $\"x\"$ , $\"x%5E2\"$ , $\"x%5E3\"$ , etc. in powers of x.
\n" ); document.write( "The coefficients are the constants in front of them.
\n" ); document.write( "As an example,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x%5E2%2B3x%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "9 is the coefficient of the $\"x%5E2\"$ term and 3 is the coefficient of the $\"x\"$ term, and $\"5\"$ is the coefficient of the $\"x%5E%280%29=1\"$ term. \n" ); document.write( "
