Question

what is a leading coefficient?

Answer 1

\[x \sqrt{64x ^{3}}+2x \sqrt{x}+8\sqrt{2x}\]

is the problem im working on im thinking the leading coefficient is the x or the 2x but im not sure

Answer 2

you should simplify them

at least x should be separate from the coefficient

Answer 3

leading coefficient mean the coefficient of item which has the biggest order

Answer 4

so the 2 or the 8?

Answer 5

you should simplify them first
the answer is not seen yet

Answer 6

x\[\sqrt{64x ^{3}}\] can be \[x \sqrt{64}\sqrt{x ^{3}}\]

Answer 7

\[8x ^{2}\sqrt{x}+2x \sqrt{x}+8\sqrt{2x}\]
is what i got so would it be the 8x^2 or the 8

Answer 8

which item do you think is the leading one

Answer 9

8

Answer 10

and that's the answer the orders of them are \[\sqrt{x5} ,\] \[\sqrt{x ^{3}} and \]

Answer 11

\[\sqrt{x}\]

Answer 12

so 8 is my answer?

Answer 13

so the first item has the biggest order of all
and 8 is certain the answer
but i'd like to know whether you know why

Answer 14

biggest number infront of the x when simplified....ty

Answer 15

no
number in front of the biggest order item is the answer
