write the polynomial in standard form.
8x-6x^2-3x^3
Identify the leading coefficient and Identify the degree of the polynomial.
To write the polynomial in standard form, we arrange the terms in descending order of their exponents. The polynomial you provided is:
8x - 6x^2 - 3x^3
In standard form, this will be:
-3x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree, which in this polynomial is -3 (associated with the x^3 term).
The degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent of the variable x, which in this polynomial is 3, since the term with the highest exponent is x^3.
