Question

The cefficient of $z$ in the term "$-kc{z}^2$" is:

• A. $kcz$
• B. $-1kcz$
• C. $-kc$
• D. $kc$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $-1kcz$

Any factor or group of factors of a product is known as the coefficient of the remaining factors.
"$-kc{z}^2$" can be written as: $(-1\times k\times c\times z\times z$)
Hence:
In the product $-kc{z}^2$: the coefficient of $z$ = $-1kcz$
