You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term. In a polynomial the leading term is the highest degree variable (in this case x^2).

\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%5E2%2B5-sqrt%285%29x%5E2\"$ . Combine like terms.

\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283-srqt%285%29%29x%5E2+-+5\"$ The leading coefficient is $\"3-sqrt%285%29\"$
