Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient -1+(x^2)/6

$- 1 + \frac{x^{2}}{6}$

Reorder $- 1$ and $\frac{x^{2}}{6}$ .

$\frac{x^{2}}{6} - 1$

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.

$\frac{x^{2}}{6} \to 2$

$- 1 \to 0$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$2$

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

$\frac{x^{2}}{6}$

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.

$\frac{x^{2}}{6}$

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

$\frac{1}{6}$
