Question

Determine the degree and leading coefficient of each polynomial.

6a^4+a^3-2a

Please just explain how to do this :) Once I get started, I should be able to figure it out :)

Answer 1

coefficient of highest degree variable is leading coefficient

Answer 2

\[\huge\rm \color{ReD}{10}x^\color{blue}{5}+45x^3 + 4x^2+6x+65\] in this example
highest degree is 5 so leading coefficient is 10

Answer 3

random example.

Answer 4

Okay! That's what I thought haha, thank you :)

Answer 5

So the degree is 4....leading coefficient is 6

Answer 6

Yeah

Answer 7

Thanks!
