The expression 5+ 6y is a polynomial
The terms are 5 and 6y, therefore there are two terms.
The coefficients are 5 and 6, which are the numbers that multiply the variable in each term. Note that 5 = 5y0 . The polynomial can be written as 6y1 + 5y0.
The constant is 5, which is the term that don't depend on the value of the variable.
