Question

Write each polynomial in standard form. Identify the leading coefficient. 13x2 - 5 +6x?-X Oa. 6x3 + 13x2 - x-5:13 Ob. 6x3 + 13x? - *-5; 6 Oc. 6x + 13x4 – x – 5; -5 d. -5 - x + 13x2 + 6x?: -5

Answer 1

6x³+ 13x² - x - 5; 6 (option B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing polynomial in standard form means arranging the terms from the highest degree to the lowest degree:

13x² - 5 + 6x³ - x

6x³+ 13x² - x - 5

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the highest degree. Highest degree is x³ and its coefficent is 6.

Hence, the correct answer is 6x³+ 13x² - x - 5; 6 (option B)
