CONCEPT PREVIEW Fill in the blank(s) to correctly complete each sentence. The numerical coefficient in the term -7yz² is ___________.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the term given: \(-7yz^{2}\).
Recall that the numerical coefficient is the constant number multiplying the variables in a term.
In the term \(-7yz^{2}\), the variables are \(y\) and \(z^{2}\), and the number multiplying them is \(-7\).
Therefore, the numerical coefficient is the number part without the variables, which is \(-7\).
So, the blank should be filled with \(-7\).
