why
b. The leading coefficient is -2 because it is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree, which is the -2xy^5 term.
c. The degree of the polynomial is 7 because the highest degree of any single term is 7, which is the x^7 term.
d. The constant term is 4 because it is the term without any variables attached, which is the 4 term.
The statement "the polynomial is in decreasing degree order" is not true because the terms of the polynomial are not arranged in decreasing order of degree.
c. The degree of the polynomial is 7 because the highest degree of any single term is 7, which is the x^7 term.
d. The constant term is 4 because it is the term without any variables attached, which is the 4 term.
The statement "the polynomial is in decreasing degree order" is not true because the terms of the polynomial are not arranged in decreasing order of degree.
