Question

What is the degree, type, leading coefficient, and constant term of `y=-2x^5-2x^3+9`?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

The degree of this polynomial is `5`, the leading coefficient is `-2` and the constant term is `9`.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent with a non-zero coefficient.

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the hightest exponent of the variable.

The constant term is the term not multiplied by the variable.
