Write the polynomial –4x2 + 7x – 7x5 + 9x3 – 3 in standard form. Then give the leading coefficient.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The polynomial is –4x^2 + 7x – 7x^5 + 9x^3 – 3

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so wait thats the standard form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I'm just double checking that the numbers after the variable are not supposed to be coefficients.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah thats right !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Standard form means that you're putting the highest degree variables first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this case, that would be the x^5, then the x^3, then the x^2, and so on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okidoke thanks ! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what the leading coefficient is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I'm good !
