Question 1167006: Given polynomial function p(x) =12+4x-3x²-x³ find
a. The degree of polynomial
b. The leading coefficient
c. The constant term
d. The number of zeros Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The degree of a polynomial is the degree of the highest degree term in the polynomial. The leading coefficient is the coefficient on the highest degree term. The constant term is a term of zero degree. Over the complex numbers the number of zeros is equal to the degree of the polynomial.
