Question

The degree of the term of the polynomial with the greatest degree is called

Answer 1

Answer: Degree of the polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember that, by definition, you can find the "Degree of a polynomial" by identifying the greatest degree of its terms.

 The "Leading term" of a polynomial is defined as the term with the highest power of the variable of the polynomial.

The numbers located in front to the variable (those numbers that multiply the variable) are called "Coefficients". The coefficient of the Leading term is known as the "Leading coefficient.

For example, given the following polynomial:

$4x^2+x-11$

You can identify that, in this case:

$Degree\ of\ the\ polynomial:\ 2\\\\Leading\ term:4x^2\\\\Leading\ coefficient:4$
