Question 107461: could you tell me if I'm correct on this homework problem:
It states for each of the following polynomials determine a)the degree of each term,b)the degree of the polynomials,c)the leading term,and d)the leading coefficient.
The problem is:5a^2-4+2a^3 The other one is:4x-7x^4+2-3x^3
a)2,0,3 a)1,4,0,3 b)4 c)7x^4 d)7
b)3
c)2a^3
d)2

--------
Part c and d of the second problem are wrong.
c should be -7x^4
d should be -7
----------------------
All the rest are correct.

answer
a)the degree of each term is ,
since we have a �missing� term ( has no ) it means we have because . We do not have to write .
b)the degree of the polynomials: since the degree of the polynomial is the highest degree of all the terms, it looks like the degree is .
Since there are three terms, this is a .
c)the leading term is

The other one is:

answer:
a)the degree of each term is: ,,
since we have a �missing� term ( has no ) it means we have because . We do not have to write .

b)the degree of the polynomials: since the degree of the polynomial is the highest degree of all the terms, it looks like the degree is . Since there are four terms, this is a .
c)the leading term is
d)the leading coefficient is
