Question

The coefficient of $x{y}^2$ in $7x^2-14x^{2}y+14x{y}^2-5$ is _____

• A. $7$
• B. $14$
• C. $-14$
• D. $-5$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $14$

The given expression is $7x^2-14x^{2}y+14x{y}^2-5$

In a mathematical expression, a coefficient is a constant that multiplies the given variable or variables of a term.

In the given expression the constant multiplying variables $x{y}^2$ is $14$

Hence, coefficient of $x{y}^2$ is $14$.
