Parth (parthkohli):
The leading term is the term with highest power i.e x^3.
The constant is -2 here. It's not +2 obviously.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok yea i get that.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
SO THEN ITS B? because the leading term IS 3 AND its constand is -2
Parth (parthkohli):
So I find the 2nd one correct.

so what would it look like if it was trinomial?
Parth (parthkohli):
Maybe something like f(x) = 2x^3 - 6x^3 + 2x^2 + 2009
