Example coefficient of g x 4x 2 5 2x From 4x 2 we need to look at the 4x but since 4x 2 is raised to the second power we need to raise 4x to the second power Similarly we look at the 2x from 5 2x and we raise it to the third power Multiply it all together 4x 2x 16x 8x 128 The degree is 5 and the leading coefficient is 128 Question Find the degree and leading coefficient of h x 3 5x x 7 2x 3 The degree is Select The leading coefficient is
