Question 907425: How to find the leading coefficient of a polynomial when I do not have the numbers graphed?
Here is the graph:

I understand that [n-1] counts the turns on the graph. This graph has 5 turns so it's a 6th degree polynomial. But there is a question here asking for the leading coefficient. How do I find that without the numbers on the graph labeled?
Thanks

Without a scale in x and y, it's not possible.
