Variable=something that can be manipulated during the expirement. You can easily change it. For example, the amount of something you use or the temperature.
Constant=Something that will always stay the same despite the changed variable. For example, if you put vinegar and baking soda together there would be a reaction, despite the amounts you used.

What does constant mean in math terms?
It means something that doesn't change, like a number.
What does the constant variable do?
Variables are not constants. The terms have opposite meaning.
What is unlike terms in algebra?
The answer depends on the context. Some examples:when dealing with fractions they are numbers with different denominators,when dealing with surds, they are terms which, in their simplified form have different expressions under the radical.when dealing with algebraic terms, they are terms in which the exponents of the variables are different.
What does constant mean in science terms?
It means the same as in everyday use. It means unchanging, unvarying. Fixed. So for example the speed of light in a vacuum is called a universal constant because it is a fixed value. It is the opposite of a variable (something that changes).
What is constant velocity in terms of physics?
Constant velocity means constant speed in a straight line.
What is a Control and a constant in elementary science terms?
A control in science is in an experiment that makes sure the science experiment only tests one variable. A constant is in an experiment and that is a variable that never changes.
How many terms are in the expression 2x 8 - 2y 1?
A term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a variable or variables. Each term in an algebraic expression is separated by a + sign or J sign. In , the terms are: 5x, 3y, and 8. When a term is made up of a constant multiplied by a variable or variables, that constant is called a coefficient.
What is a constant coefficient?
In a ploynomial or differential equation or really any formula or equation with variables in it, the coefficients are the terms "in front of" the variable or multiplied the variables. Each variable generally has its own coefficient. If a coefficient is constant (ie just a number) then it is a constant coefficient. eg Consider the polynomial , 3x2+9yx+6 in terms of x. It has one constant coefficient (3), one variable coefficient (9y) and one constant (6).
What does the prefix photo means in science terms?
this is a very good question! "photo" in science terms means "light." Contributing to photosynthesis, photo means light and synthesis means absorption.
How do you change slope form to standard form?
Just leave the constant at one side and the terms with variables at the other side.
How do you simplify the expression 6-2x-14x?
Collect terms. Constants with constants, variables with matching variables. 6 is a constant, and the rest are all x terms. 6 - 2x - 14x 6 + (-2x -14x) 6 + (-16x) 6 - 16x ■
What does random mean in science terms?
random in science terms means random duhhh. :) random is random in every language or subjects
