Question

In the polynomial function below what is the leading coefficient f(x)=1/4x^5+8x-5x^4-19

Answer 1

Answer: it is 1/4 for apex

Answer 2

Answer:
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

The leading coefficient of a polynomial are the real numbers that is placed in front of the variable with the highest exponent.

Given polynomial function :
`f(x)=(1)/(4)x^5+8x-5x^4-19`

Variable with the highest exponent=
`x^5`

Number placed in front of
`x^5=(1)/(4)`

Hence, the leading coefficient =
`(1)/(4)`
