The leading term is the one with the largest exponent of the variable,
\n" ); document.write( "which is usually x. That's the term -7x4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial. That's 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The coefficient of the leading term is the leading coefficient. That's -7
