Answer:
The polynomial 2x^5-3^4+12x^3-2 is of degree ___5____. The leading coefficient is ___2____.
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of a term of a polynomial is the sum of the exponents of all the variables of the term. Remember that a variable such as x has exponent 1 (that we don't write), but it still counts.
The degree of a polynomial is the same as the degree of the term with highest degree.
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree.
