The coefficient is the number that multiplies a variable in a polynomial.

Given the polynomial:


13x^3-5y^4+12xy^3-10y^6+3

We have that:

The coefficient of the first term is 13.


13x^3

The coefficient of the second term is -5.


-5y^4

The coefficient of the third term is 12.


12xy^3^{}

The coefficient of the fourth term is -10.
