Question

The polynomial 2x^5-3^4+12x^3-2 is of degree​ _______. The leading coefficient is​ _______.

Answer 1

Answer:

The polynomial 2x^5-3^4+12x^3-2 is of degree​ ___5____. The leading coefficient is​ ___2____.

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a term of a polynomial is the sum of the exponents of all the variables of the term. Remember that a variable such as x has exponent 1 (that we don't write), but it still counts.

The degree of a polynomial is the same as the degree of the term with highest degree.

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree.
