<h3>Answer: -1</h3>

Explanation:

The given equation is the same as y = -1x^4+4x^2

The leading term is the term with the largest exponent, so it's -1x^4

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term.

In short, we circle the first coefficient we see. This is assuming that the polynomial is in standard form where the exponents decrease when going from left to right.

Graph the exponential function.<br> f(x)= -(5/2)^x

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Your spreadsheet or graphing calculator can do this for you.

If you want to do it by hand, pick a few values for x, compute the corresponding values of f(x), plot those points, and draw a smooth curve through them. You know the horizontal asymptote is y=0, and the whole graph is in the 3rd and 4th quadrants, since the exponential function has been reflected over the x-axis by the leading minus sign.
