Question

Identify the coefficient in the term 7x^2 y^3.

7. The coefficient is the number that you multiply the "x" by. 2 and 3 are exponents, as in you multiply a number by itself 2 or 3 times.

In my view, 7x^2 y^3 is ambiguous. Do you mean \[7x^2*y^3, \]

Answer 25

yes

Answer 26

or do you mean 7x^2 y^3.\[7x ^{2y^3}?\]

Answer 27

no the first one is right.

Answer 28

7 is the answer, there's no need to finish anything

Answer 29

ok thanks.

Answer 30

All right, thank you. In that case, show that you're multiplying through including " * " in the proper place.

Yes, 7 is the one and only coefficient here.

No prob :) sorry for any confusion. Do you get how I figured that out?

Answer 32

I did.
