Coefficient of a Term

Last updated at July 27, 2026 by

Suppose our expression is

    2š‘„ − 3

 

Here we consider terms other than constant

Number multiplied to the variable is the coefficient

Here, 2 is the coefficient of 2x

 

For 4x 3 − 9xyz

Coefficient of a Term - Part 2

 

For 25x + y

Coefficient of a Term - Part 3

 

For 15š‘„y − 25y + 18

Coefficient of a Term - Part 4

For 4x3 āˆ’ 9xyz 4š‘„3 = 4 Ɨ š‘„3 So 4 is the coefficient of š‘„3 āˆ’9xyz = ā€“9 Ɨ xyz So, āˆ’9 is the coefficient of xyz For 25x + y 25x = 25 Ɨ š‘„ So, 25 is the coefficient of š‘„ y = 1 Ɨ y So, 1 is the coefficient of y For 15š‘„y āˆ’ 25y + 18 15š‘„y = 15 Ɨ š‘„ Ɨ y So 15 is the coefficient of xy āˆ’25y = āˆ’25 Ɨ y So, āˆ’25 is the Coefficient of y
