No, the student is not correct.
The given expression has 5 terms: -4x^5, -3x^4, 8x^7, -6x.
Additionally, the leading term of the expression is 8x^7, which has a positive coefficient (8) and is thus not negative.
A student states that -4x^5-3x^4+8x^7-6x has 4 terms and a negative leading coefficient.
Is the student correct? Explain
