( Identify the terms, their coefficients for each of the following expressions)

i. terms = 5xy(z)^2 , -3zy

coefficient = 5 and -3

ii. terms = 1 , X ,x^2

coefficient = 1 , 1

iv. terms = 3 , -pq , qr, -rp

coefficient = -1 ,1 , -1

v. terms = X/2 , y/2 , -xy

coefficient= 1/2 ,1/2 and -1

= n - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the difference between consecutive terms is constant, that is

0 - (- 1) = 0 + 1 = 1

1 - 0 = 1

2 - 1 = 1

3 - 2 = 1

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 1 and d = 1, thus

= - 1 + n - 1 = n - 2
