Since c occurs in a term that does not involve x, it is called the constant term of the polynomial and can be thought of as the coefficient of x0; any polynomial term or expression of degree zero is a constant.
Como c ocorre nun termo que non contén x, chámase termo independente do polinomio e pode ser considerado como o coeficiente de x0; calquera termo dun polinomio ou expresión de grao cero é unha constante.
