Hello!
A coefficient is a constant multiplied by a variable. As you can see, b is not being multiplied by a number we can see. The thing is, it still has a coefficient. Isn't 1b the same thing as b? This would mean our coefficient would be 1.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
\left(ax^2\right)\left(-6x^b\right)=12x^5\\\\(-6a)x^{2+b}=12x^5\to -6a=12\ and\ 2+b=5\\\\-6a=12\ \ \ |:(-6)\\a=-2\\\\2+b=5\ \ \ |-2\\b=3
Answer:\ a=-2;\ b=3
