Answer 1

The coefficient is 6........

Answer 2

Given:

12x³y²z

To find:

The coefficient of 2x³y in the term 12x³y²z

Solution:

we have given the algebraic expression as:

12x³y²z

Here we have to tell the coefficient of 2x³y in the term 12x³y²z

so just separate this expression in the given term

12x³y²z

6yz× 2x³y

here we have two types of coefficients:

Numerical coefficient of 12x³y²z  is 6

and

Alpha Numeric coefficient of 12x³y²z  is 6yz

So,

The coefficient of 2x³y in the term 12x³y²z  can be 6 or 6yz
