Question 184736: hi, i was hoping you could help me start my homework...i am needing to determine the degree of each term and the degree of the polynomial. also, how do i find the leading term and coefficient? thank you!!! -6x^5-8x^3+x^2+3x-4 Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! -6x^5-8x^3+x^2+3x-4
the leading term is the term with the highest degree
:
so is the leading term and the leading coefficient is -6
: ...degree is 5
: ..degree is 3
: ...degree is 2
: ...degree is 1
: degree is zero
:
degree of poly is taken from term with highest degree.....so this is a 5 degree polynomial
