Given the polynomial below
[tex]-8x-5x^4-1-\frac{x^5}{9}+8x^3[/tex]
The above is:
1) A degree 5 polynomial i.e the highest power of the given polynomial is 5 which represents the degree.
2) It has 5 terms
3) The constant term is -1
4) The leading term is
[tex]-\frac{x^5}{9}[/tex]
5) The leading is -1/9
Hence, the expression represents a degree 5 polynomial with 5 terms. The constant term is -1, the leading term is -x⁵/9, and the leading coefficient is -1/9
