Your Input

Find the degree, the leading coefficient, and the leading term of $$$p{\left(x \right)} = - 3 x^{4} + 2 x^{3} - x^{2} + 4$$$.

Solution

The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's individual terms. In our case, the degree is $$$4$$$.

The leading term is the term with the highest degree. In our case, the leading term is $$$- 3 x^{4}$$$.

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term. In our case, the leading coefficient is $$$-3$$$.

Answer

Degree: $$$4$$$A.

Leading coefficient: $$$-3$$$A.

Leading term: $$$- 3 x^{4}$$$A.
