hehe i guess u shldnt take my answer for it but try this out

anonymous · Answer

is it correct?

anonymous · Answer

I don't know I'm waiting for another answer.

anonymous · Answer

oh ok

anonymous · Answer

?

anonymous · Answer

what? it was wrong :D

anonymous · Answer

LOL I guess i dont have luck today

anonymous · Answer

what coefficient?  numerical or literal?

anonymous · Answer

not sure doesn't say

anonymous · Answer

well, the degree matters. the highest exponent or degree is 5,

anonymous · Answer

ummm was i wrong? This what i had to do in skewl if i remember correctly. Th eleading coefficient had to be the coefficient of teh highest degree but i may be having memory failure

anonymous · Answer

if the highest degree is 5, therefor the leadind coefficient is -0.2x^5

anonymous · Answer

that's both numerical and literal.. .

anonymous · Answer

Actually, the leading coefficient is -0.2.  In a polynomial, the coefficient of the term with the highest degree is called the leading coefficient.

anonymous · Answer

LOL at least i remember something. I was giving her all the wrong answers and I was feeling terrible

anonymous · Answer

ah I'm so confused so the answer is -0.2?

anonymous · Answer

yes
