-2x^2+x

9-25x^2+8x

X^5+x^3-x^2-1

Answer 1

For
`-2x^2+x`, Leading coefficient is -2, Degree is 2, Constant term is 0

For
`9-25x^2+8x`, Leading coefficient is -25, Degree is 2, Constant term is 9

For
`x^5+x^3-x^2-1`, Leading coefficient is 1, Degree is 5, Constant term is -1

Explanation:

Given:

Polynomials:

`-2x^2+x\\9-25x^2+8x\\x^5+x^3-x^2-1`

To find: leading coefficient, constant term and degree

Solution:

Leading coefficient is the coefficient of the variable with the highest power.

Degree is the highest power of the variable.

The term of degree 0 is the constant term of a polynomial.

For
`-2x^2+x`,

Leading coefficient is -2

Degree is 2

Constant term is 0

For
`9-25x^2+8x`

Leading coefficient is -25

Degree is 2

Constant term is 9

For
`x^5+x^3-x^2-1`

Leading coefficient is 1

Degree is 5

Constant term is -1
