Question

Write the numerical coefficient of each term in the following algebraic expressions:
(i) $4x^{2}y-\frac{3}{2}xy+\frac{5}{2}x{y}^2$
(ii) $-\frac{5}{3}{x}^{2}y+\frac{7}{4}xyz+3$

Answer 1

The numerical coefficient of each term in the given algebraic expressions is as follows.
Term Coefficient

(i) 4x²y 4

$-\frac{3}{2}xy$ $-\frac{3}{2}$
$\frac{5}{2}x{y}^2$ $\frac{5}{2}$

(ii) $-\frac{5}{3}{x}^{2}y$ $-\frac{5}{3}$
$\frac{7}{4}xyz$ $\frac{7}{4}$
