Question

HW ASSIGNMENT, this subject in polynomials confuse me because there are so many numbers

Answer 1

Case: Polynomials (Leading term, leading coefficient and degree)

Degree: The highest value of exponents in the polynomial

Leading coefficient: The value of the coefficient of the term having highest value of exponents in the polynomial.

Leading term: The whole term having highest value of exponents in the polynomial.

Given:

Three polynomials. f(p), g(c) and h(n)

Required:

State the:

(i) degree (ii) leading term and (iii) leading coefficient for

(i) f(p)

(ii) g(c)

(iii) h(n)

Method:

A) f(p)

`f(p)=-7p^5-p^4-3p^3`

i) degree = 5

ii) leading term

`-7p^5`

iii) leading coefficient= -7

B)

`g(c)=14c^4+23c^5+8c^6`

Final answer:
