Question

Find out the degree of the polynomials and the leading coefficients of the polynomials given below:
$x^2-2x^3+5x^7-\frac{8}{7}{x}^3-70x-8$

Answer 1

$x^2-2x^3+5x^7-\frac{8}{7}{x}^3-70x-8$

Degree (highest power) of the polynomial $=7$

Leading coefficient i.e Coefficient of the term with highest degree $=5$
