Grade: 1400-a Lesson: S2-L2

Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Determine the polynomial function degree, leading coefficient \$f(x) = -3x^5 + 2x^4 - 5x^3 + x^2 + 4x - 2\$.

2

Step

The degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest power of x in the function. In this case, the highest power is 5, so the degree of the polynomial function is

5

3

Step

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest power of x.In this case, the leading coefficient is

-3

4

Step

Therefore, the degree and leading coefficient of a polynomial function are 5, - 3.

5

Choice.A

The polynomial’s degree is 5 with a leading coefficient of -3, not 2, making this option incorrect

2 , - 3

6

Choice.B

This option correctly identifies the polynomial’s degree as 5 with a leading coefficient of -3

5 , -3

7

Choice.C

The leading coefficient is -3, not 4, rendering this option incorrect

5 , 4

8

Choice.D

This option wrongly indicates a degree of 7 and a leading coefficient of 0, which does not match the polynomial

7 , 0

9

Answer

Option

B
