Question

What is the leading coefficient of this polynomial? f(x)=3x^2-1/5x^5+7x^10

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

Answer 2

+7

Explanation:

`f(x)=3x^2-1/5x^5+7x^10`

To find leading coefficient , we look at the highest power of the polynomial

In the given f(x), we have x^2 , x^5 and x^10

x^10 has highest exponent 10

So the term that has highest exponent is +7x^10

The coefficient of that highest exponent term is the leading coefficient

So leading coefficient is +7
