Coefficients Command

Coefficients( <Polynomial> ): Yields the list of all coefficients $a_k,a_{k-1},\ldots,a_1, a_0$ of the polynomial $a_k x^k+a_{k-1}x^{k-1}+\cdots+a_1 x+a_0$ .

Coefficients(x^3 - 3 x^2 + 3 x) yields {1, -3, 3, 0}.

For non-polynomial curves obtained using one the fitting commands e.g. f(x) = FitExp(l1), the command Coefficients(f) will return the list of the calculated parameters.

Coefficients( <Conic> ): Returns the list of the coefficients a, b, c, d, e, f of a conic in standard form: $a\cdot x^2 + b\cdot y^2 + c + d\cdot x\cdot y + e\cdot x + f\cdot y = 0$

For a line in implicit form l: ax + by + c = 0 it is possible to obtain the coefficients using the syntax x(l), y(l), z(l).

Given line l: 3x + 2y - 2 = 0:

x(l) returns 3
y(l) returns 2
z(l) returns -2
