Degree and Leading Coefficient Calculator
Find the degree, leading coefficient, and leading term of a polynomial step by step
The calculator will find the degree, leading coefficient, and leading term of the given polynomial function.
Your Input
Find the degree, the leading coefficient, and the leading term of $$$p{\left(x \right)} = 5 x^{7} + 2 x^{5} - 4 x^{3} + x^{2} + 15$$$.
Solution
The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's individual terms. In our case, the degree is $$$7$$$.
The leading term is the term with the highest degree. In our case, the leading term is $$$5 x^{7}$$$.
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term. In our case, the leading coefficient is $$$5$$$.
Answer
Degree: $$$7$$$A.
Leading coefficient: $$$5$$$A.
Leading term: $$$5 x^{7}$$$A.
