Question

2. Write the coefficient of 'a' in each of the following termi) '5ax' (ii) '-4ab' (iii) '38abc' iv) '-24 ab^(2)c'​

Answer 1

Answer:

The coefficients are:

$(a)\ 5x$

$(b)\ -4b$

$(c)\ 38bc$

$(d)\ -24b^2c$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The coefficient of a

To get the coefficient, we simply remove a. The remaining terms is the required coefficient

Solving (a):

$Expression = 5ax$

Remove a

5x:

Hence, the coefficient is 5x

Solving (b):

$Expression = -4ab$

Remove a

-4b

Hence, the coefficient is -4b

Solving (c):

$Expression = 38abc$

Remove a

38bc

Hence, the coefficient is 38bc

Solving (d):

$Expression=-24ab^2c$

Remove a

$-24b^2c$

Hence, the coefficient is $-24b^2c$
