Question

the coefficient of
${x}^{2} \: - 5a {x \: }^{2} is \:$
​

Answer 1

▩ Solution :-

$\sf →{x}^{2} - {5a}^{2}$

We know that,

A coefficient is any constant or numerical term that is in front of one or more variables is defined as a fixed number that is multiplied to a variable.

Hence the coefficient of:

• x² is 1 as 1 multiple by x² gives x²
• a² is 5 as it comes before a²
