Question

Which of the following is a coefficient in the algebraic expression:12p5 + r-16?O A. 12O B. PO c.O D. 5

Answer 1

Given

`12p^5+r-16`

A Coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable.

Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient.

`\begin{gathered} 12\text{ }* p^5 \\ 1* r \end{gathered}`

12 is a coefficient

1 is a coefficient

Since, 1 is not in the option then 12 is the correct answer

The final answer

Option A
