The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the highest power in this case x^2 (x squared)

x^2 has no number written before it , so it's 1 (last choice)

Answer:

1 is leading coefficient. last option is correct

Explanation:

We have been given the quadratic function x^{2}-8x-4

We know that leading coefficient is the coefficient of the variable having highest exponent.

So, in order to state the leading coefficient we first of all find the highest exponent of the given function.

Clearly, the given function is quadratic and hence, the highest exponent is 2.

The coefficient of the variable of highest exponent is 1.

Therefore the leading coefficient is 1. last option is correct

What can be concluded about a sorting algorithm (such as insertion) that performs only adjacent interchanges??
Oksanka [162]
It is the most critical part in algorithm. This is to sort or arrange things or numbers in specific characteristics. This is to make things easier when you will be calculating and you can differentiate the results and your variable being considered in solving the problem.

If Laura walks 3 miles in 80 minutes, then Laura will walk how far in 120 minutes if she walks at the same speed the whole time?
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: the answer would be 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

she walks 3 miles every 80 minutes and 80 plus 80 would be 160 but this is 120 so it would be 80 plus 40 so its half of 80 so half of 3 is 1.5 so there, hopes this helps
