Degree and Leading Coefficient
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable; the leading term carries that power, and its coefficient is the leading coefficient.
Show
In 4x³ − 9x² + 6x, the degree is 3, the leading term is 4x³, and the leading coefficient is 4.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
