a) 4;6
b) 3;1
c) 3;6
d) 6;3

Answer 1

4, 6

Answer 2

Well you know the coefficient is the number before the 'a' and the leading coefficient is the first one so that is ...?
and the degree would be the highest degree in this polynomial...which is?

Answer 3

Degrees = The power the variables are raised to

Answer 4

okay how about this one 3p^2-7p^5-2p^3+5
