In this problem, we're being asked to first find the degree for the given polynomial, and then we're going to need to find the leading coefficient as well.
00:08
So we're going to start by finding the degree.
00:11
Remember, the degree is the variable term with the highest exponent.
00:16
So let's go through each of our terms.
00:18
Where our first term 5 doesn't have a variable, which means it does, its exponent is just equal to 0, which is why we don't write it.
00:25
Now for the second term, negative x, when you don't see an exponent, it's an imagine every 1.
00:30
For the third term, x has an exponent of two, and for our last term, the exponent is three...
