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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Degree: 5; leading coefficient: 10 i think this is the answer, but i just want to make sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the largest exponent.
