We
know that
1) The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms
2) The leading term in a polynomial is the highest degree term
3) The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term
Therefore
The leading coefficient
1) The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms
2) The leading term in a polynomial is the highest degree term
3) The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term
Therefore
The coefficient of first term of a polynomial written in standard (descending order) form is the coefficient of the leading term, thus is called the leading coefficient.
the answer isThe leading coefficient
The answer is: "leading".
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The coefficient of first term of a polynomial written in standard (descending order) form is called the leading coefficient".
For example, if you have the following polynomial:
2x²-5x+10=0
Then, as you can see, the leading coefficient is: 2
