Where an, an-1,a2, a1, a0 are constants. We call the term containing the highest power of x the leading term, and we call an the leading coefficient. The degree of the polynomial is the power of x in the leading term. We have already seen degree 0, 1, and 2 polynomials which were the constant, linear, and quadratic functions, respectively. Degree 3, 4, and 5
