Question

How do you find the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial `5t^4+t^3-7`?

Answer 1

`"degree "4," leading coefficient "=5`

Explanation:

`"the degree of a polynomial is the value of the largest"`
`"power (exponent ) in the polynomial"`

`"the leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term of"`
`"largest power with the polynomial in standard form"`

`5t^4+t^3-7" is in standard form"`

`rArr"degree "=4" and leading coefficient "=5`
