Term | Coefficient | Degree |
The coefficient of term
The coefficient of term
The coefficient of term
The coefficient of the constant term is
Since, the greatest degree of the polynomial is 3.
So, the degree of the polynomial is 3.
Since, the leading term is the term of the greatest degree.
So, the leading term of the polynomial is
Since, the leading term is the term of the greatest degree.
So, the leading coefficient of the polynomial is
