Question

In polynomial
p(x) = 5x2 + 3x9 + 27x4 + 25x 7x2 + 2
Find the leading term and leading coefficient.

Answer 1

Answer:

Leading term = 3x^9

Leading coefficient = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading term = Term that has the highest exponent

Thus, in the given equation 3x^9 is the leading term.

Meanwhile, the coefficient of the leading term also becomes the leading coefficient.

Thus, the leading coefficient is 3.
