Given the polynomial below


-8x-5x^4-1-(x^5)/(9)+8x^3

The above is:

1) A degree 5 polynomial i.e the highest power of the given polynomial is 5 which represents the degree.

2) It has 5 terms

3) The constant term is -1

4) The leading term is


-(x^5)/(9)

5) The leading is -1/9

Hence, the expression represents a degree 5 polynomial with 5 terms. The constant term is -1, the leading term is -x⁵/9, and the leading coefficient is -1/9
