You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Identify the leading coefficient, and classify the polynomial by degree and by number of terms.
2) 5x-2
Leading coefficient is 5; degree is 1.
---------------
4) 5x cubed -2
Leading coefficient is 5; degree is 3.
--------------
6) x squared+5x+2x to the fourth+x cubed -2
Leading coefficient is 2; degree is 4.
