To write the polynomial in standard form, we arrange the terms in descending order of their exponents. The polynomial you provided is:
8x - 6x^2 - 3x^3
In standard form, this will be:
-3x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree, which in this polynomial is -3 (associated with the x^3 term).
The degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent of the variable x, which in this polynomial is 3, since the term with the highest exponent is x^3.
write the polynomial in standard form.
8x-6x^2-3x^3
Identify the leading coefficient and Identify the degree of the polynomial.
