Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient 2p^4+p^3

$2 p^{4} + p^{3}$

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.

$2 p^{4} \to 4$

$p^{3} \to 3$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$4$

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

$2 p^{4}$

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.

$2 p^{4}$

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

$2$

List the results.

Polynomial Degree: $4$

Leading Term: $2 p^{4}$
