Use - 42 + 6a^23 16 17 18 -5a^2 + 16 and the following information. 1. What is the leading coefficient of the polynomial? 19 2. What is the degree of the polynomial? 20 22 3. What is the sign of the leading coefficient? Write the word. 23 24 4. What is the parity (even/odd) of the degree?
Added by Elizabeth J.
Step 1
Step 2: The degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent of the variable, which in this case is 23. Step 3: The sign of the leading coefficient is positive. Step 4: The degree of the polynomial is odd. Therefore, the final answers are: Show more…
