Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient -10c^3-c^4+3c^2

$- 10 c^{3} - c^{4} + 3 c^{2}$

Reorder $- 10 c^{3}$ and $- c^{4}$ .

$- c^{4} - 10 c^{3} + 3 c^{2}$

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.

$- c^{4} \to 4$

$- 10 c^{3} \to 3$

$3 c^{2} \to 2$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$4$

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

$- c^{4}$

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.

$- c^{4}$

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

$- 1$
