Answer

(i) p2

Coefficient of p2:

Divide the original expression by p2 then

-5p2q3r4 ÷ p2

= -5q3r4

∴ Coefficient of p2 is -5q3r4

(ii) 5pq2

Coefficient of 5pq2:

Divide the original expression by 5pq2 then

-5p2q3r4 ÷ 5pq2

= -pqr4

∴ Coefficient of 5pq2 is -pqr4

(iii) p2q2

Coefficient of p2q2:

Divide the original expression by p2q2 then

-5p2q3r4 ÷ p2q2

= -5qr4

∴ Coefficient of p2q2 is -5qr4

(iv) pqr

Coefficient of pqr:

Divide the original expression by pqr then

-5p2q3r4 ÷ pqr

= -5pq2r3

∴ Coefficient of pqr is -5pq2r3

(v) -pq2r3

Coefficient of -pq2r3:

Divide the original expression by -pq2r3 then

-5p2q3r4 ÷ -pq2r3

= 5pqr

∴ Coefficient of -pq2r3 is 5pqr

(vi) 5q3r

Coefficient of 5q3r:

Divide the original expression by 5q3r then

-5p2q3r4 ÷ 5q3r

= -p2r3

∴ Coefficient of 5q3r is -p2r3
