Question 17328
what is the leading coefficient for p(x)=(x+2)^17..
 if you mean by leading coefficient the coefficient of highest power of x , then notice that 
 p(x)=(x+2)^17=(x+2)(x+2)(x+2).....17 times 
   the highest power of x is obviously got by multiplying x by x repeatedly taking one x from each factor ..so we get
x*x*x*.....17 times =x^17...its coeffiocient is 1 and the term is 1x^17
