Signals updates a value after some "delta" time or at the
end of the process. But variable updates a value immediately.
below are the example in which a process is used to calculate the signal RESULT .
Example of a process using Variables
architecture VAR of EXAMPLE is
signal TRIGGER, RESULT: integer := 0;
begin
process
variable variable1: integer :=1;
variable variable2: integer :=2;
variable variable3: integer :=3;
begin
wait on TRIGGER;
variable1 := variable2;
variable2 := variable1 + variable3;
variable3 := variable2;
RESULT <= variable1 + variable2 + variable3;
end process;
end VAR

Example of a process using Signals
architecture SIGN of EXAMPLE is
signal TRIGGER, RESULT: integer := 0;
signal signal1: integer :=1;
signal signal2: integer :=2;
signal signal3: integer :=3;
begin
process
begin
wait on TRIGGER;
signal1 <= signal2;
signal2 <= signal1 + signal3;
signal3 <= signal2;
RESULT <= signal1 + signal2 + signal3;
end process;
end SIGN;
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first case, the variables "variable1, variable2 and variable3"
are computed sequentially and their values updated instantaneously after
the TRIGGER signal arrives. Next, the RESULT is computed using the new
values of the variables. This results in the following values (after a
time TRIGGER): variable1 = 2, variable2 = 5 (=2+3), variable3= 5. Since
RESULT is a signal it will be computed at the time TRIGGER and updated
at the time TRIGGER + Delta. Its value will be RESULT=12.
On the other hand, in the second example, the signals will be computed
at the time TRIGGER. All of these signals are computed at the same time,
using the old values of signal1, 2 and 3. All the signals will be
updated at Delta time after the TRIGGER has arrived. Thus the signals
will have these values: signal1= 2, signal2= 4 (=1+3), signal3=2 and
RESULT=7.
A variable is a single term that is free to change its value. A formula is a relationship between terms which describes one variable in terms of several others, which usually has 1 variable on the left hand side, and at least 1 on the other side. For example (if x and y are variables, then y = x² is a formula of y in terms of x).
A polynomial is a type of algebraic expression. They differ in the number of terms that contain variables. An algebraic expression has at least 1 variable, while a polynomial has multiple terms with variables in it.

Terms that contain the same variable is called "like terms".

The equation 2n46 means that the variable n, when multiplied by 2, equals 46. This shows the relationship between the variable n and the number 46 in terms of multiplication.
What is the difference between dependant and independent events in terms of probability
There is no difference between both terms as both terms represents the date at which financial statements are prapared.
A polynomial is a type of algebraic expression. They differ in the number of terms that contain variables. An algebraic expression has at least 1 variable, while a polynomial has multiple terms with variables in it.
constant means data item whose value cannot be altered or change. whereas variable is named storage location whose value can be manipulated during program run.
An amp, short for amplifier, is a device that increases the strength of an electrical signal, while a speaker is a device that converts electrical signals into sound waves. In simpler terms, an amp makes the signal stronger, while a speaker turns that signal into sound.
An explicit rule defines the terms of a sequence in terms of some independent parameter. A recursive rule defines them in relation to values of the variable at some earlier stage(s) in the sequence.
The difference between succeeding terms in a sequence is called the common difference in an arithmetic sequence, and the common ratio in a geometric sequence.
There is no difference, the terms are synonymous.
There is no difference, the terms are used interchangeably.
