Answer:

The leading co-efficient is -3 and the constant is '2'

Explanation:

Explanation:-

leading co-efficient

The highest power of the variable that occurs in the polynomial is called the degree of a polynomial. The leading term is the term with the highest power , and its co-efficient is called the leading co-efficient.

So given polynomial expression 5x + 2 – 3x2 in this expression the highest degree is '2' and the co-efficient is -3

Therefore the leading co-efficient is -3

The constant of the given polynomial is '2'

conclusion:-

The leading co-efficient is -3

The constant of the given polynomial is '2'
