Question 421348: Could someone please explain to me how I would get the following points to such:
Determine the leading term, the leading coefficient, and the degree of the polynomial. Then classify the polynomial as constant, linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic.
g(x)=1/2x^3-10x+8
Thank you so much!

Determine the leading term, the leading coefficient, and the degree of the polynomial. Then classify the polynomial as constant, linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic.
g(x)=1/2x^3-10x+8
---------
The leading term is the first DISABLED_event_one= (1/2)x^3
The leading coeff = 1/2
The degree is 3, the highest exponent.
Degree is a cubic, as in cubed.
