Answer:

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
