Algebra Examples

f (x) = 2 x + x^{3} + 4

$f (x) = 2 x + x^{3} + 4$

Step 1

Reorder

2 x

$2 x$ and

x^{3}

$x^{3}$ .

f (x) = x^{3} + 2 x + 4

$f (x) = x^{3} + 2 x + 4$

Step 2

The leading term in a polynomial is the term with the highest degree.

x^{3}

$x^{3}$

Step 3

The leading coefficient in a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term.
