what is the leading coefficient of
this polynomial?
x10 + 29x4 + x2 + 8

answer:

the formula just found is an example of a polynomial, which is a sum of or difference of terms, each consisting of a variable raised to a nonnegative integer power. a number multiplied by a variable raised to an exponent, such as

3

8

4

π

384π, is known as a coefficient. coefficients can be positive, negative, or zero, and can be whole numbers, decimals, or fractions. each product

a polynomial containing only one term, such as

​​ +8x−7, is called a trinomial.

we can find the degree of a polynomial by identifying the highest power of the variable that occurs in the polynomial. the term with the highest degree is called the leading term because it is usually written first. the coefficient of the leading term is called the leading coefficient. when a polynomial is written so that the powers are descending, we say that it is in standard form.

a polynomial reading: a sub n times x to the nth power plus and so on plus a sub 2 times x squared plus a sub one times x plus a subzero is shown. the a in the term a sub n is labeled: leading coefficient. the n in the term x to the nth power is labeled: degree. finally, the entire term is labeled as: leading term.
