Step 1.1

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $x^{4}$ .

$x^{3} + \frac{x^{4}}{3} + 6 x + 5$

Step 1.2

Reorder $x^{3}$ and $\frac{x^{4}}{3}$ .

$\frac{x^{4}}{3} + x^{3} + 6 x + 5$

Step 2

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

$\frac{x^{4}}{3}$

Step 3

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

$\frac{1}{3}$
