Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient -1/6+x

$- \frac{1}{6} + x$

Step 1

Reorder $- \frac{1}{6}$ and $x$ .

$x - \frac{1}{6}$

Step 2

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms.

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$x \to 1$

$- \frac{1}{6} \to 0$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$1$

Step 3

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

$x$

Step 4

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

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

$x$

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

$1$

Step 5

List the results.

Polynomial Degree: $1$

Leading Term: $x$

Leading Coefficient: $1$
