Question

What are the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial

Answer 1

The degree would be the highest exponent & the leading coefficient is the number in front of the variable with the highest exponent.

For example,
`5x^2+29x+590` would be a polynomial to the second degree as the highest exponent is
`x^2` & 5 as the leading coefficient as it is the number in front of the variable to the highest degree.
