I don't see h(x) here — could you paste the expression for h(x)? Then I can give its degree and coefficient(s).
Meanwhile, how to find them:
- If h(x) is a polynomial, combine like terms and write it in descending powers of x.
- Degree = highest exponent of x with a nonzero coefficient.
- Leading coefficient = coefficient of that highest-power term.
Notes and quick examples:
- h(x) = 3x^4 − 5x^2 + 7x − 1 → degree = 4, leading coefficient = 3.
- h(x) = x^2(2x − 3)(x + 5) → degree = 2+1+1 = 4, leading coefficient = 1·2·1 = 2.
- h(x) = 0 (the zero polynomial) → degree is undefined (sometimes −∞), and it has no well-defined leading coefficient.
Paste your h(x) and I'll compute them.
