What is the leading coefficient of the first term?

Options: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

1 answer

In the expression \( 4x^2 - 2x + 1 \):

  1. How many terms are there?
    There are 3 terms: \( 4x^2 \), \(-2x\), and \( 1\).

  2. What is the leading coefficient of the first term?
    The leading coefficient (the coefficient of the term with the highest degree, which is \( x^2 \) here) is 4.

Therefore:

  • Number of terms: 3
  • Leading coefficient: 4
