Question

What is the coefficient of the term 6/7 xy

A. 6/7

B.1/7

C.6

D.xy

Answer 1

OPTION A:
`$ (6)/(7) $`

Explanation:

Co-efficient of a polynomial is the multiplicative term for some term of the polynomial.

For example, Consider the quadratic polynomial
`$ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 $` then the co-efficient of
`$ x^2 $` is a.

Similarly, we are asked the co-efficient of
`$ (6)/(7) xy $`

Clearly, the co-efficient of
`$ (6)/(7) xy$` is
`$ (6)/(7) $`.
