f(x) = -16x5 - 7x4 - 6

@LXelle could you please help me to know how to solve this

Answer 1

@LXelle

Answer 2

degree is the leading exponent.

Answer 3

\[y = -16x^5 -7x^4-6\]

Answer 4

whats the leading exponent?

Answer 5

5 is it 5 @LXelle

Answer 6

Bingo! :) Leading coefficient?

Answer 7

the degre is -16

Answer 8

DEGREE IS THE LARGEST EXPONENT. DONT GET CONFUSED!

Answer 9

Your degree is 5. Largest COEFFICIENT is -16.
