Question

Write the coefficient of $x$ in the following $xyz$.

Answer 1

Hint: According to the question we have to determine the coefficient of the given $xyz$. So, first of all we have to understand about the coefficient which is explained as below:
Coefficient: A number which is used to multiply a variable that can be $a,b,c,d,x,z,..........$is known as the coefficient of that number or a variable which is multiplied with the other variable that can be $a,b,c,d,x,z,..........$ is known as the coefficient of that number.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We can also say that the coefficient is a multiplicative term or factor in some term of a series, polynomial like (${x^2},{a^3},{y^3},{b^2},..............$) or in any expression/equation. The variables appearing in the coefficient are called parameters and those parameters must be distinguished from the other variables.
Step by step solution:
Step 1: As explained in the solution hint to determine the coefficient of $x$ we have to check the variable which is/are multiplied with variable $x$.
Step 2: As we can see that $x$ is multiplied by the variable $y$ and variable $z$ so the coefficients of $x$ is $yz$

Hence, as explained in the solution hint we have obtained the coefficient of $x$ which is $yz$.

Note: If the given variable has no number then the coefficient of that given variable is 1 as a given variable is $x$ then the coefficient of $x$ is 1.
In many scenarios, coefficients are numbers although they can’t be parameters of the problem or any expression in these parameters.
