Question
Write each polynomial in descending powers of the variable. Then give the leading term and the leading coefficient. See Example 1.$$q^{2}+3 q^{4}-2 q+1$$
Step 1
The degree of a term is the exponent of its variable. In the polynomial $q^{2}+3 q^{4}-2 q+1$, the degrees of the terms are 2, 4, 1, and 0 respectively. Show more…
