f (x) = 2 x^{4} + 4 x - 9 \sqrt{x} + 3 x^{2} - 8

$f (x) = 2 x^{4} + 4 x - 9 \sqrt{x} + 3 x^{2} - 8$

Step 1

Simplify the polynomial, then reorder it left to right starting with the highest degree term.

Step 1.1

Move

- 9 \sqrt{x}

$- 9 \sqrt{x}$ .

f (x) = 2 x^{4} + 4 x + 3 x^{2} - 9 \sqrt{x} - 8

$f (x) = 2 x^{4} + 4 x + 3 x^{2} - 9 \sqrt{x} - 8$

Step 1.2

Move

4 x

$4 x$ .

f (x) = 2 x^{4} + 3 x^{2} + 4 x - 9 \sqrt{x} - 8

$f (x) = 2 x^{4} + 3 x^{2} + 4 x - 9 \sqrt{x} - 8$

f (x) = 2 x^{4} + 3 x^{2} + 4 x - 9 \sqrt{x} - 8

$f (x) = 2 x^{4} + 3 x^{2} + 4 x - 9 \sqrt{x} - 8$

Step 2

The degree, leading term, and leading coefficient cannot be determined because

2 x^{4} + 3 x^{2} + 4 x - 9 \sqrt{x} - 8

$2 x^{4} + 3 x^{2} + 4 x - 9 \sqrt{x} - 8$ is not a polynomial.
