Solution

We have an algebraic expression $- 4 a^{2} b^{3} c^{2} - 20 a b + 9$
We have to find the coefficient of $- 4$ in the term $- 4 a^{2} b^{3} c^{2}$
Any factor of a term of an algebraic expression is called the coefficient of the remaining factor of the term.
Here, $- 4 a^{2} b^{3} c^{2} = - 4 (a^{2} b^{3} c^{2})$
Thus, the coefficient of $- 4$ in the term $- 4 a^{2} b^{3} c^{2}$ is $a^{2} b^{3} c^{2}$
Hence, the required coefficient is $a^{2} b^{3} c^{2}$
