For this question, we need to determine the leading term, the leading coefficient, and the degree of the polynomial given.
00:08
And we're given the polynomial g of x equals negative one -sixth x to the fourth minus 3x plus 5.
00:19
In order to find the leading term, start by ensuring that the terms of the polynomial given are arranged in order of greatest exponent to least exponent.
00:29
In this case, they are, since the first term has an exponent of 4, the second has an exponent of 1, and the third has an exponent of 0.
00:40
Since the terms are in the correct order, this means that the leading term is simply the first term, which in this case is negative 1 .6x to the 4th.
00:51
Another way to think of the leading term is it's the term with the highest exponent.

Next, we need to find the leading coefficient, which is the coefficient of the leading term...
