2A + B --> C

if both A and B are 2nd order, what's the correct way to write a rate equation?

is it rate = k[A]^2^2 and total of 4th order?
or does the coefficient in front of A matter?
 
Coefficient does not matter for that rate law. You wrote it right. Do not mix these up with equilibrium equations where the 2 would matter.
