Question

If the following is a polynomial function, then state its degree and leading coefficient. If it is not, then state this fact.

f(x) = 10x5 + 7x4 + 5

Answer 1

\[y=10x^5+7x^4+5\]

Answer 2

Degree: 5; leading coefficient: 10

i think this is the answer, but i just want to make sure

Answer 3

That is correct!

Answer 4

just to clarify,the degree is the leading exponent, correct?

Answer 5

It's the largest exponent.

Answer 6

ok, thank you!

Answer 7

No problem.
