Question

I don’t know how to find coefficients and I have to show my work please help me get the answer and show me the step by step solving so I can show my work and understand:(

Answer 1

First, let's write the polynomial in the standard form. To do so, first we need to write the terms with the higher exponents:

$f(x)=2x^3-5x+1$

The leading term is 2x³ (that is, the term where the variable has the higher exponent), and the coefficient of this term is 2.

Therefore the leading coefficient is 2.
