Question

In $y^{2}x-y$, the term with factor $y^2$ is ___________ and its coefficient of $y^2$ is ___________.

• A. $y^{2}x$
• B. $x$

Answer 1

Step I: Finding the term with factor$y^2$.

$y^{2}x-y$ is having two terms $y^{2}x$ and$-y$.

All the constants, variables, and expressions that are multiplied to form a term are called its factors.

So, from these two terms, the term with factor $y^2$ is$y^{2}x$.

Step II: Finding the coefficient of the factor $y^2$ in$y^{2}x$.

The coefficient of $y^2$ will be all other constants and variables from the given term which are multiplied to$y^2$.

Here, $x$ is multiplied to$y^2$.

Hence, the coefficient of $y^2$ is$x$.

Therefore, In$y^{2}x-y$, the term with factor $y^2$ is $y^{2}x$ and its coefficient of $y^2$ is$x$.
