Answer:

  • The leading term is the one with the highest degree of the variable, the leading coefficient the coefficient of the term of highest degree, the constant is the term with no variable.

a) f(x) = x³ - 8x² - x + 8

  • f(x) has a leading term of x³, so its degree is 3, leading coefficient is 1 and the constant is 8

b) h(x) = 2x⁴ + x³ - 3x² - x = 1

  • h(x) has a leading term of 2x⁴, so its degree is 4, leading coefficient is 2 and the constant is 1

c) g(x) = 13.2x³ + 3x⁴ - x - 4.4

  • g(x) has a leading term of 3x⁴, so its degree is 4, leading coefficient is 4 and the constant is -4.4

#a

[tex]\\ \rm\longmapsto f(x)=x^3-8x^2-x+8[/tex]

  • Degree=3
  • Leading coefficient =x^3
  • Constant=8

#b

[tex]\\ \rm\longmapsto h(x)=2x^4+x^3-3x^2-x+1[/tex]

  • Degree=4
  • leading co-efficient=2x^4
  • Constant=1

#c

[tex]\\ \rm\longmapsto g(x)=13.2x^3+3x^4-x-4.4[/tex]

  • Degree=4
  • Leading coefficient=3x^4
  • constant=-4.4
