2. Write the coefficient of 'a' in each of the following termi) '5ax' (ii) '-4ab' (iii) '38abc' iv) '-24 ab^(2)c'​

The coefficients are:

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The coefficient of a

To get the coefficient, we simply remove a. The remaining terms is the required coefficient

Solving (a):

Remove a

5x:

Hence, the coefficient is 5x

Solving (b):

Remove a

-4b

Hence, the coefficient is -4b

Solving (c):

Remove a

38bc

Hence, the coefficient is 38bc

Solving (d):

Remove a

Hence, the coefficient is

19
