Question

(a) Identify terms which contain x and give the coefficient of x.

(i) y²x + y (ii) 13y²− 8yx (iii) x + y + 2

(iv) 5 + z + zx (v) 1 + x+ xy (vi) 12xy² + 25

(vii) 7x + xy²

(b) Identify terms which contain y² and give the coefficient of y².

(i) 8 − xy² (ii) 5y² + 7x (iii) 2x²y −15xy² + 7y²

Answer 1

(a)

Row	Expression	Terms with x	Coefficient of x
(i)	y2x + y	y2x	y2
(ii)	13y2 − 8yx	− 8yx	−8y
(iii)	x + y + 2	x	1
(iv)	5 + z + zx	zx	z
(v)	1 + x + xy	x xy	1 y
(vi)	12xy2 + 25	12xy2	12y2
(vii)	7 + xy2	xy2	y2

(b)

Row	Expression	Terms with y2	Coefficient of y2
(i)	8 − xy2	−xy2	− x
(ii)	5y2 + 7x	5y2	5
(iii)	2x2y + 7y2 −15xy2	7y2 −15xy2	7 −15x
