The term coefficient refers to a number that is next to a variable. For example in the term 4x2, 4 is a coefficient, and 2 is an exponent; x is a variable.

No, the quadratic equation, is mainly used in math to find solutions to quadratic expressions. It is not related to science in any way.


How would you find the slope in the problem Y plus X equals 7?

First you subtract X from both sides. The equation then becomes Y = 7 - X. You can rewrite this as Y = -X + 7. Then the equation is in slope-intercept form Y = mx + b where m is the slope. By using this definition you can know that the coefficient attached to X is the slope. In the equation, X has a coefficient of -1 so the slope is -1.

How do you find the diffusion coefficient?

It is possible to calculate the diffusion coefficient of a liquid. You would set up a liquid-liquid diffusion coefficient sample. Use the variables W for solvent molecular weight, F for?æsolvent association factor, V for solvent viscosity, M for solvent molal volume, and T for system temperature.The equation you use is D(A,B) = [7.4T (FW) ^0.5]/ [V (M^0.6) * (10^8)].?æ
