Question

Rewrite the polynomial in standard form. Then identify the leading coefficient, degree, and number of terms. Name the polynomial.
-18x^2 + x^3 - 5 + 2x

Answer 1

Highest power to lowest then leading coefficient is the number in the very front

Answer 2

Degree is the highest power

Answer 3

x^3 - 18x^2 + 2x - 5; leading coefficient: 1; degree: 3; number of terms: 4; cubic polynomial with 4 terms correct? @dmb1

Answer 4

Yep

Answer 5

how about for: 4x^4 + 8x^2 + 1 - 3x

A. 4x4 + 8x2 - 3x + 1; leading coefficient: 4; degree: 4; # of terms: 4; quadratic polynomial with 4 terms

B. 4x4 + 8x2 - 3x + 1; leading coefficient: 4; degree: 4; # of terms: 4; quadratic polynomial
