Question

consider the following expression:

\\6 + 2x^5\\

step 2 of 2: determine the degree and the leading coefficient of the polynomial.

Explanation:

Write the polynomial in standard form

Using the Polynomial Degree and Leading Coefficient knowledge points

$$ 2x^5 + 6 $$

Identify the degree of the polynomial

Using the Polynomial Degree knowledge point

$$ \text{Degree} = 5 $$

Identify the leading coefficient

Using the Leading Coefficient knowledge point

$$ \text{Leading Coefficient} = 2 $$

Answer:

Consider the following expression:

$$6 + 2x^5$$

Step 2 of 2: Determine the degree and the leading coefficient of the polynomial.
